Bernhard's proposal solves my problem, but xauth still doesn't seem
to work -- unless I'm doing something wrong:
gregoa@belanna:~$ xauth list
belanna/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 a48ce076edc6f675ff5db43f43bdc313
belanna.comodo.priv.at:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 a48ce076edc6f675ff5db43f43bdc313
gregoa@guinan:~$ xauth list
gregoa@belanna:~$ xauth extract - belanna:0.0 | ssh guinan xauth merge -
gregoa@guinan:~$ xauth list
belanna:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 a48ce076edc6f675ff5db43f43bdc313
gregoa@guinan:~$ DISPLAY=belanna:0 xeyes
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyError: Can't open display: belanna:0
gregoa@belanna:~$ cat /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
#!/bin/sh
# $Id: xserverrc 189 2005-06-11 00:04:27Z branden $
#exec /usr/bin/X11/X -nolisten tcp
exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -retro
Maybe I'm missing something but I seem to remember that this worked
before this way.
Cheers,
gregor
