Re: SSH and X forwarding?

[Heikki Vatiainen <hessu@cs.tut.fi>]

Have you tried running ssh with -v (verbose) option? Also, are you sure 
xauth is available at the remote end when ssh processes try to set up 
the $HOME/.Xauthority keys.

Can't comment on va.debian.org though.

            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Which end is this, remote or local? I have a non-X host that has some 
X-utilities in it e.g. rxvt but no X server or console X usage. I have 
never seen /tmp/.X11-unix directories there.

Hope this helps,
