15 Hi Jonas,
16 unfortunately, I don't understand your advice.
17
18 I do have X11 forwarding configured and I don't have any problems
19 when working as the same user for which I logged in via ssh -Y.
20 But if I change the user by using su (doesn't work) or sux (works on
21 a local machine), Xauthorization fails.
22
23 Thanks,
24 Helmut.
