X forwarding doesn't work for me under Linux kernels 2.4.0-test8 or test9,
using OpenSSH 2.2.0p1 (as packaged in Debian woody.) When I try to ssh to my
machine, the client spits out the following pieces of information:
Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding.
Last login: Tue Oct 3 15:26:19 2000 from localhost on pts/2
Linux mallard 2.4.0-test9 #3 Tue Oct 3 14:20:59 CDT 2000 i686 unknown
No mail.
Last login: Tue Oct 3 15:26:30 2000 from localhost
Received disconnect: Command terminated on signal 11.
sshd logs the following when I connect:
sshd[547]: Connection from 127.0.0.1 port 1186
sshd[547]: Accepted rsa for dwp from 127.0.0.1 port 1186
sshd[547]: error: socket: Address family not supported by protocol
PAM_unix[547]: (ssh) session opened for user dwp by (uid=0)
sshd[547]: Disconnecting: Command terminated on signal 11.
PAM_unix[547]: (ssh) session closed for user dwp
The error also occurs if I don't use RSAAuthentication, come in from a
remote machine, or use SSH protcol version 2 (although with v2 the sig11s do
not occur); in any of these cases, I get the same socket: Address family not
supported by protocol error in my log and the connection drops, unless I
turn off X forwarding.
All this worked with no problem in Linux 2.4.0-test7 and earlier. Does
anyone know what broke? Is this a Linux kernel bug?
