I thought I'd try this list since some of the most knowledgable people on
every known subject hang out :)   Seriously, I can't seem to get X
forwarding working with SSH, and a number of other mailing lists have given
me no answer.  It looks like an X problem.  No response from the X lists.
All this started after I had to switch to DHCP with ATT.


It looks like I have more of an X problem than an SSH problem. Here is part
of script as it logs "startx" and then I kill it:
 Script started on Fri Dec 14 18:28:12 2001 
xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "c888746-a.attbi.com:0" in "list" command
xauth: 
(argv):1: bad display name "c888746-a.attbi.com:0" in "add" command
xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "c888746-a.attbi.com:0" in "remove"
command 
Script done on Fri Dec 14 18:28:40 2001 

But here is the output from "xauth list": 
c888746-a.attbi.com/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 e0cae68d99242..... 
Notice the /unix is not present in the startx script. I really have no idea
how to fix this. 

Thanks,  Rob  (sorry for the formatting, I'm stuck with Outlook here at
work)
