I occasionally run program with the X display forwarded to my laptop. Simple setup, has always worked great, etc, etc. Just last week, I went to login and run a program and I received the following error (in /var/log/messages): sshd[25306]: error: Failed to allocate internet-domain X11 display socket. Now, not to (intentionally) irritate anyone, but I haven't made any changes in regards to the setup on either end of the connection that I'm aware of. The only change at all that I've recently made, is that I switch shells on the remote box (to zsh). I tried changing back to bash, (my original setup), and the problem persists. The permissions for sshd are: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 168488 May 6 22:58 /usr/sbin/sshd which looks correct to me. I really haven't a clue where to begin with this one, besides a backup and re-install, which is an option, but is also a rather large pain. Suggestions? -Andrew
