Does setting "X11UseLocalhost no" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restarting sshd help?
I'll test and report back. (In reply to comment #28)
Irrespective of the previous comment, got a clue just now. Check if the export has "root_squash". If so, the filesystem is exported in a way the causes 'root' accesses to be treated as accessed by 'nobody'. So if you try to access a setuid binary then you might be seeing this error. Changing the export option to "no_root_squash" can fix this.
The server exports the home indeed with the option "root_squash". We set this option with purpose, so that only root on the server has root rights and root from a remote machine cannot access the home folder with root rights (thus preventing damage to the home folder out out carelessness or a hijacked remote machine). Changing it would open a kind of a security leak. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
