I think you'll need a different sshd_config if xauth authentication isn't working. I haven't actually checked the code to see how it really works, but will look this evening. > > Also, to the person who suggested I run xdm, I want to be able to do it > without running X on the box all the time; it's a box with neither very > much memory or > CPU to spare, so I'm trying to cut down on the amount > of things running on it at one time. > I feel your pain :-) Remember, xdm can run without a local X server. It's useful with X servers which run on other systems in '-indirect' mode or from ssh X11 forwarding. (!) You'd need to comment the local entry out of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers to keep xdm from running a local server and session. This way, you can keep memory requirements much lower most of the time while allowing the execution of X client applications from remote X servers. If this makes SSH/xauth work too then it's a pretty handy configuration for that as well Good Luck, Jerry Hicks wghicks@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
