Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
I'm seeing that warning quite often. I can easily reproduce it by doing something like this: # for i in $(seq 50);do ssh <server> date&;done That's a cvs/ssh server and has 'MaxStartups 50' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Server sshd is: OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-9etch3 pat OpenSSH Client ssh is: OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-3, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 I've also seen this: /usr/bin/X11/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/user/.Xauthority occasionally. Anything that can be done to avoid that? Cheers, -- Cristian
