I've two boxes on which I run X servers, one box is 7.1-prelelease, the other is 8.0-current, both i386. Both boxes run xorg-server-1.4.2,1. Both boxes have identical $HOME/.Xauthority. However, when I connect to another computer with ssh -X and try to run a client, say xclock, one xserver displays the result fine, while the other gives: % xclock Xlib: connection to "localhost:22.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Error: Can't open display: localhost:22.0 % I spent quite a lot of time looking at what are the differences between my 2 X servers, but can't see any. This should be a simple problem, just find what the differences are between the working and the broken configurations, and implement them. But I can't find any differences. What should I look at to resolve the problem? many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
