[Patch] Xauthority file in /tmp
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 :

Xauthority location: only per-user setting possible
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.

.Xauthority & SMB
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.

C6: ssh X-forwarding does not work
Hi all,
I have C6 i386 with cr repo enabled;
problem is, I can't get x-forwarding to work, xorg-x11-auth rpm is
installed, have checked sshd config for
#X11Forwarding no
X11Forwarding yes
#X11DisplayOffset 10
Here is a verbose ssh logon, I can't see any difference to a working server:

treat output of sshrc as environment assignment lines?
Currently, ~/.ssh/environment can set static environment variables,
and ~/.ssh/rc can run initialization routines. But there is no way
for sshrc to propagate changes to the environment to the user's shell
or command.
There is, however, a possible way to do this. If the
PermitUserEnvironment option is set, sshd could treat the stdout of
sshrc as additional assignment lines of the form

openssh & XEmacs gnuclient issue
In switching to openssh from ssh-1.2.27, I have encountered the
following problem with the way openssh handles its XAUTHORITY files
separately from ~/.Xauthority.
XEmacs has a gnuserv process that runs and allows commands to be
issued to a remote XEmacs process. The trouble is when the command is
to make a new frame ( window ) on a different X display, it fails
because the Xauth cookie is not in

SELinux and rsh+xauth
Hello,
I have a strange (for me) problem with these two machines :
- Client, a CentOS-5.7 workstation ;
- Server, a CentOS-6.2 headless, up-to-date server.
From Client, I want to use xauth on Server with the help of rsh (yes, I
know, ssh and all this sort of things... another time.)
When SELinux is in permissive mode on Server, all these commands
perform as expected :

X11 cookies and forwarding
I'm guess I wasn't following the whole cookies discussion completely
(putting cookies in /tmp to avoid putting them on NFS, etc.), but I
noticed today that with 2.9.9p2, if I use "ssh -X" to start a shell on the
server, in that shell XAUTHORITY is set to /tmp/ssh-XXXXXXXX/cookies and
there are cookies placed there there. These are the "fake" cookies for

OpenSSH tmp cleanup
Hi,
I noticed that Markus has fixed the temporary file cleanup problems in
OpenSSH cvs. What files need patching for this ? I only noticed
changes in: session.c, channels.h and channels.c.

Hi!
Several people noticed problems with openssh Version 1.2.2 through 1.2.3
related to X11 forwarding under Linux. For example:
