Guys,

Need a bit of help. I got a bash script I use to call up a group of boxes that I manage. In this script, am doing X forwarding via ssh,

mybox_rxvt () {        ssh -X cepayne@mybox.mydomain.com /usr/bin/xterm; }

When I use my bash script I get the following error...

Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.arning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

But if I just type ssh -X cepayne@mybox.mydomain.com /usr/bin/xterm from the CLI, it works. Why would calling that from a bash script not work but from the CLI, it would. What can I do to fix it.

Thanks,

Chuck

Nevermind, for once Google was my friend. http://mactip.blogspot.com/2004/04/no-xauth-data.html Once I did this now my script is working. xauth generate :0 . xauth generate :0 . trusted Thought I pass it on...
