XMing/PLink won't cooperate...


OK - I'm really confused here...

If I use XMing to just start an x server - it's fine.

If I use putty I can get a shell on the linux server - fine.

I can use plink to launch processes on the linux server - fine.

But if I tell xming to run a process (using plink) the x root window appears for a fraction of a second - then xming dies. What am I missing here?

I've included an xming log trace below - although I can't see anything helpful...

Code:

I had exactly the same symptoms.

Googling around I saw that sshd ties in to xauth.

On Debian Etch, xauth is supplied by the package xbase-clients.

apt-get install xbase-clients

The problem was no more.

Hope this helps somebody else.
