I see, Warning: Remote host denied X11 forwarding, perhaps xauth program could not be run on the server side. Each time I log into one of my machines. But that is because the machine in question does not have X installed. I assume there is no "solution" since their is no X to forward. Do both machines in question have X installed? How was sshd installed, by port or package? If it was done by package, did the build machine compile in X support? Just some ideas. -- Crist J.
