similar to: [Bug 1401] New: ssh does not remove staled credentials from .Xauthority

Hi. I see this XAUTHORITY=/tmp/ssh-*/cookies issue has been discussed repeatedly, but I haven't seen a solution to the following problem. Remote user logs into firewall. On firewall, DISPLAY var set to secure channel, XAUTHORITY set to /tmp/ssh-*/cookies. X11 forwarding from firewall works fine. User logs into machine behind firewall, and sets DISPLAY var to firewall:X11DisplayOffset.0.

Hello all, $XAUTHORITY location has moved from under /tmp to ~/.Xauthority in 2.9p2. The commit message was: --- remove xauth-cookie-in-tmp handling. use default $XAUTHORITY, since we do already trust $HOME/.ssh you can use .ssh/sshrc and .ssh/environment if you want to customize the location of the xauth cookies --- The latter is true, but can only be enabled in per-user basis as far as I see.

This issue has been discussed here and elsewhere a fair bit in the past year or so, but to re-address the issue... As of OpenSSH 2.9.something the ability to have an Xauthority located in /tmp was removed, with the following description in the ChangeLog : - markus at cvs.openbsd.org 2001/06/12 21:21:29 [session.c] remove xauth-cookie-in-tmp handling. use default $XAUTHORITY, since

On some of my machines, when I run "su -" in a terminal to get a root shell, an XAUTHORITY file is automatically generated to give display access to GUI programs spawned by that shell, i.e., # set | grep XAUTH XAUTHORITY=/root/.xauthayZmdH That file contains a copy of the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE from my original X session. On other machines with the same installed OS (CentOS

Hi all, I'm progressing through an issue we have at a large customer site. We have slowly eliminated the basic issues, but the main problem remain : the Samba server stacks up staled connections/sockets up to max, until the service breaks. A restart flush the staled connections and Samba works again. platform : IBM 4-cpu server runing AIX 4.3 Samba : 2.2.7a compiled with gcc 2.95.3

Hi, Finally got this working!!

Why doesn't openssh bother to clean out the entries it places in .Xauthority? The file just keeps growing and growing... -- Karl Amrhein, <ksa at SLAC.Stanford.EDU> | www.slac.stanford.edu/~ksa SLAC Computing Services, Systems Group | 650.926.5083 Bldg 50, 364 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: secureshell-unsubscribe at

I asked this question a while ago, but never got any response. Since then, I've researched the problem some more, so I can give a much more concise description of what's happening. I'm mounting the home directories of the users upon login (using pam_mount) from the Windows server. However, none of the users can run X Windows. It says there's a problem with the .Xauthority file.

Hi, OpenSSH 5.1 is almost ready for release, so we would appreciate testing on as many platforms and systems as possible. This release is one of the biggest in recent years, with two hackathons' worth of improvements and fixes for some of our most recalcitrant bugs. Snapshot releases for portable OpenSSH are available from http://www.mindrot.org/openssh_snap/ The OpenBSD version is

I there was a discussion on the vorbis list about Real Audio SureStream (tm) format. The basic idea was that they put multiple RA files with different compression levels. So when they have to switch the bit rate due to bandwidth changes, they choose from the streams they have. Since peeling is a long time away, it could be implemented with ogg vorbis multiplexing several times the same

Good evening, I've just read the theora specs and I was wondering how theora bitstream is multiplexed with speex or vorbis audio in the ogg container. I'm looking for a reading (tutorial or specs) about ogg multiplexing. Manuel. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, We would like to make one of our periodic releases shortly, so once again we are asking for readers of this list (or anyone else) to download and test a CVS snapshot of OpenSSH on your favourite platforms. The OpenBSD version is available in CVS HEAD: http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html Portable snapshots are available the mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/portable.html#ftp in the
