X over ssh
This isn't really Debian related, but I'm having some trouble with X
over ssh. I am at a win2k box with XWin32 running (& access control
disabled). I use ssh (from cygwin) on that box to login to a FreeBSD
box (our webhosting server). The DISPLAY variable is correctly set,
but whenever I try to run an X app I get :
$ xterm
Xlib: connection to "redoaksw.com:10.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: redoaksw.com:10.0
$
On the client (windoze) side :
$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_2.5.2p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090600f
On the server (FreeBSD) side :
$ telnet localhost 22
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-1.99-OpenSSH-2.1
Why might the cookie be invalid and how can I correct it?
TIA,
-D
