similar to: Inheriting Xauthority

Hi, Finally got this working!! I have found a potential Workaround to the following error: >/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp >and > utmp > /etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a >-w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -1 >":0" >"test" >Xlib:

How can I block network setup (via NetworkManager) from changing the machine's hostname whenever the network configuration changes? The problem: When my graphical login session starts, the xauth database gets an token that is labeled with the hostname at that time. If there is not yet a network connection, that will be "localhost.localdomain". When a network connection is then made

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

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.

Make it a system connection instead of a user connection. Or give the host a static name on install and don't allow dhcp to override it.

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

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´m trying to configure a Redhat Linux Workstation to work in my Windows NT Domain (NT PDC). My goal is take out all NT Workstations, changing it to Linux Workstations. I've got almost everything working wonderfully: 1-winbind is authenticating my domain users with pam_winbind 2-samba is mounting NT directories at login with pam_mount The big problem is about use Xwindows with home

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

Hello, I have been having issues with x11 forwarding using my linux-mandrake based servers. I checked my XAUTHORITY variable and it was set to ~/.Xauthority ... After reading the mail archives, I found the /tmp/ssh* directory created during my ssh session, and did this: export XAUTHORITY="/tmp/ssh-hzuA1805/cookies" xeyes ...and the X11 forwarding worked! I'm using the

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.

I have 2 labs I have to maintain. The first is a Windows-based lab, and the second is a Linux-based lab. I'm trying to combine the user accounts to make everything easier... here's what I have so far: The Linux test machine has Samba 3 installed on Fedora Core 1, with winbind and pam_mount. Pam_mount automatically maps the home directory, and everything works perfectly when I log in
