Hi Jonas,
unfortunately, I don't understand your advice.

I do have X11 forwarding configured and I don't have any problems
when working as the same user for which I logged in via ssh -Y.
But if I change the user by using su (doesn't work) or sux (works on
a local machine), Xauthorization fails.

Thanks,
Helmut.
