similar to: Xauthority location: only per-user setting possible

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

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.

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

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, 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. -Jarno -- Jarno Huuskonen <Jarno.Huuskonen at uku.fi>

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to comp.emacs.xemacs as well.

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

hi, eventually newbie: i want to show remote X-apps on my desktop. now, i know from google that xhost and xauth is not the way to so that very secure. now, i have a ssh_config with X forwarding enabled and a server with forwarding enabled, too. now when i connect to server i read that ssh creates automaticaly a Xauthory file. So i know that this is the xauth way with supercookies etc. but i

Hi folks, I've got a problem with X11 forwarding on an AIX 5.2 system thats stumped me. I've installed the same patched + compiled installp package on all our aix boxes but one of them won't play ball with X11 ssh -X -v -v user at host gives (grepped out X11 looking lines) debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentication succeeded (password). debug1:

Since I had a problem and resolved with the JuiceSSH app on Android a couple of weeks ago, I've had a new problem with one of my local machines. Although I've checked everything I remember changing back then, I can't find the cause and would appreciate a clue or two. (Note, JuiceSSH is not involved in this problem.) I have four local machines which should be able to use "ssh

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 : rsh Server
