Hello

i have a problem on CentOS 4 with starting remote x application on remote CentOS 3 od Solaris 9 boxes.

The problem is: When I run it from CentOS 3 it's OK form CentOS 4 I cannot find a bad word in logs ...

My local machine

stoping firewall [root@klima-pc ~]# service iptables stop [root@klima-pc ~]# iptables-save [root@klima-pc ~]#

SELinux is OFF

I am connecting by ssh with Xforwarding enabled to

• Centos 3 box

[09:32 root@tux:root]# gvim --sync The program 'gvim' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)'. (Details: serial 287 error_code 5 request_code 20 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

It is a feature ... really, it is (according to RH) :). Here is a quote from the RH mailing list:

--------------------- I think by default X11Forwading is now disabled in SSH. You can either use 'ssh -X' or change it in your /etc/ssh/ssh_config. I have the following in mine:

ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted yes --------------------

That should make it work the way you expect.
