Before using ssh (i.e. telnet, rsh and the likes) one had to manually |
| 18 |
copy the mmc using: "xauth extract - $DISPLAY | rsh otherhost xauth |
| 19 |
merge -" or something similar (i.e. the Xforwarding mechanism relies on |
| 20 |
that the display that you want use have an identical mmc in the user |
| 21 |
directory on the remote machine). The message "Warning: No xauth |
| 22 |
data..." seems to indicate it's not creating a .Xauthority (=mmc) file |
| 23 |
or an invalid one. |
