I am having some problems with X11 forwarding. I can do X11 forwarding via ssh
between two machines running Linux, but if I try to do this from FreeBSD
(KDE) to either of the Linux machines, it only works if I use startx to start
KDE on the fbsd machine (a laptop). If I start KDE from kdm, I get errors
that go like this when I start the KDE app on the remote host running Linux:
pollywog at slider:~$ kate
Xlib: connection to "localhost:11.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
kate: cannot connect to X server localhost:11.0
My configurations for ssh are similar on all hosts:
sshd_conf has
AllowTcpForwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalHost yes
XAuthLocation /usr/local/bin/xauth
ssh_conf has
Host slider
HostName 192.168.0.1
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
Protocol 2
