openssh bugs - Apr 2004 - [Bug 849] Document or fix untrusted X11 authority timeout

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=849

           Summary: Document or fix untrusted X11 authority timeout
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.8.1p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: orion at cora.nwra.com


The untrusted X11 authorization used by default only lasts 20 minutes (2 minutes
in 3.8).  Afterward 20 minutes of X11 inactivity, one gets the cryptic:

Xlib: connection to "localhost:11.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
Error: Can't open display: localhost:11.0

Preferrably this should fixed, perhaps by generating a new key.  At the very
least, this behavior should be documented somewhere.
