Package: xauth Version: 1:1.0.6-1 Severity: normal for run in `seq 1 10` do ssh -X -l <my user> <server> "xload" & done
/usr/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/<user>/.Xauthority X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. A sleep 0.1 though lets it through (most of the time, but like all race conditions, this is a deeply evil hack). One suspects xauth shouldn't just fail immediately if it can't hardlink the lockfile. Act more like procmail's lockfile utility, and back off a bit while retrying. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable'), (5, 'testing'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xauth depends on: ii libc6 2.13-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libx11-6 2:1.4.3-2 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.6-3 X11 authorisation library ii libxext6 2:1.3.0-3 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxmuu1 2:1.1.0-2 X11 miscellaneous micro-utility li xauth recommends no packages. xauth suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
