This isn't really Debian related, but I'm having some trouble with X over ssh. I am at a win2k box with XWin32 running (& access control disabled). I use ssh (from cygwin) on that box to login to a FreeBSD box (our webhosting server). The DISPLAY variable is correctly set, but whenever I try to run an X app I get :
$ xterm Xlib: connection to "redoaksw.com:10.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key xterm Xt error: Can't open display: redoaksw.com:10.0 $ On the client (windoze) side : $ ssh -V OpenSSH_2.5.2p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090600f On the server (FreeBSD) side : $ telnet localhost 22 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. SSH-1.99-OpenSSH-2.1 Why might the cookie be invalid and how can I correct it? TIA, -D
