[Brahms-dev-l] openssh 3.9p1 with SL3.0.2

Hello.  This is just a warning about openssh 3.9p1 version (as well as 
some older one, at least version  3.8 ). (NOTE: SL3.0.2 come with 
3.6.1p2) If you upgrade openssh to the newer one(because of its security 
hole), you might the encounter the following symptom with ssh and X. 

something like....

Xlib: connection to "localhost:11.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

And, the result is that you can not "pop" Xwindow shortly after 
(~10minutes or so) you login to the remote machine


I don't know the reason(Does anyone know?).  But, I have a solution.

In you ssh_config file, make sure it includes "ForwardX11Trusted yes" 
option as well as "ForwardX11 yes".  I have never seen 
"ForwardX11Trusted" option, but it fixed my problem.

(If you don't have an access to ssh_config file and you encounter this 
problem, you can use "-Y" option in ssh also.)

Hiro
