I've got problems with X server authentication using `xauth'. The problem is, that I have my local computer running NetBSD 5.1 and a remote computer in LAN which is running Debian GNU Linux. During the login to my NetBSD computer `xdm' generates a magic cookie for my DISPLAY. Then I transfer this cookie via `ssh' to the Debian computer:
After that when making `xauth list', I can see identical magic cookies on both computers. But when I'm trying to start an `xterm' on the Debian computer I only get the following error message:
Not sure if this is going to help, but lets do this manually and see if this works:
Quote:
a) on your netbsd machine, do a xauth list and get the key for your display
b) on your debian machine, type in xauth, it should give you a xauth> prompt
c) at the xauth prompt>, paste the entire key line which should be of the format "hostname :0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 <key>" from step a) and type exit
After step c), your key should have been added. So try connecting now.
Paste the output from xauth list on your netbsd and debian. Lets take a look.
Also post any errors from Xorg.0.log if any when attempting to connect to remote display.

Thanks for your suggestion, but unfortunately it seems not to help. I've tried adding the keys manually, but the result stayed the same. Actually the keys were already correctly added with `ssh', so I think that the problem is not with keys but with something else.
Here is the output of `xauth -list' from both machines. For security reasons I've replaced the magic numbers with key1, key2, etc.:
