Remote display problem with ssh

[Karl-Olov Serrander]

Hi !

I have 2 Fedora12 machines (a and b), when logged in after doing
"ssh -Y user@b" from a and try to start xterm on b to be displayed
on a, I get "xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0"

Both machines are on my local 192.168.0.0 net.

Default Fedora 12 ssh config files.

Any hints ?

Regards

b probably needs xorg-x11-xauth.

Does the problem exist in both directions?

I've never seen this error.  The closest I've come to seeing it is when
the /etc/ssh/sshd_config was modified to read "X11Forwarding no".
