Hello,
I have a cluster of systems running RHEL6, they are logged into via thin clients using XDMCP. My users have other systems they use as well but for some reason when they use X11 forwarding from these RH systems, their xauth cookies aren't being auto generated.
the DISPLAY var is properly set. I've discovered that if the users run the following, X11 forwarding works fine:
Code:
xauth generate $DISPLAY
ssh -X [host]
But if they run ssh -X without first running the xauth generate, it will return "Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 Forwarding" and they will be unable to run anything through X11.
What did I miss in the config that is not making this xauth data be automatically generated? Thanks!
