I just did 'ssh' to one of the Linux hosts and when the connection was made, I
got this:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
Does this possibly have something to do with the problem I mentioned in my
initial post in this thread? I am going to Google that error and see if I
can find something.
