I installed the new ssh (via YOU) yesterday and am now seeing a problem with "sux -". Scenario: 1. New ssh on on both the remote (SuSE 8.0) and the local (SuSE 7.3) system. 2. All ssh config files are copied from the "*.rpmnew" versions created by the install of the new ssh EXCEPT that "X11Forward yes" is enabled. (I get the same problem using my original ssh config files from before the update.) 3. Log in to the remote system via ssh. 4. From the shell now running on the remote system attempt to switch to root with "sux -". 5. The following error is shown: > sux - Password: No matches found, authority file "/dev/fd/62" not written xauth: (argv):1: unable to read any entries from file "(stdin)" # "su -" works without the above error but then I can't launch X applications: > su - Password: # export DISPLAY=:10.0 # /opt/mozilla/mozilla Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10.0 I am not sure if it is the new ssh that has done this to me but I did just install the update and both the above scenarios worked fine yesterday before the update. -- Robert C.
