Bug#501764: linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-486: ssh -X breaks Xauthority on NFS mounted home dir
Package: linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-486
Version: 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.5
Severity: normal
Apparently 2.6.24 does some extra caching for stat() which causes ssh
-X to break when home is on NFS (it does not see the change to
..Xauthority). I found detailed description of the bug at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269954
and I find it quite critical since it breaks a very common use case.
