The applications that I want to run are on Linux Server [NFS] and the client machines [CIFS] that are having problem in locking the .Xauthority files are Macs which share the same domain as that of client solaris machine. i.e. The home directory of particular user on Solaris & the home directory of that user on Mac have same contents.
When I ssh -X from Solaris to the server, everything works fine, no error messages.
When I ssh -X from MACs to the server, I get the following warning messages.
/usr/X/bin/xauth is the path on the server. If I try to break the lock by sudo /usr/X/bin/xauth -b quit, I get the following error
When I ssh -X from any my MacBookPro to the server,
I have checked sshd_config on both the server and the Mac clients, there is nothing that seems wrong, but if you guys have insights then please share.

Deleting .Xauthority files work, but thats not a good solution. I mean, everytime I have to run any X forwarding application I have to delete the .Xauthority file
I got this solved. The solution seems very silly and I should had checked long ago.
Solution: I updated the version of X11 app on the client MAC to the latest and it stopped creating those .Xauthority-c files.

If it helps, with the older version of the X11 apps, I was able to get it done by unchecking the “Enable Authentication” from the preferences of X11 app.

Folks,
I am having a minor problem on a new AIX install. I have AIX installed in and LPAR on a p550 and everything works fine with the exception of users who log in with ssh.
It seems that when a user has X11 forwarding enabled in their ssh client and they connect to the server, logins hang.... (3 Replies)

Hi,
Simple question but I just need to confirm the answer:
If two or more processes attempt to move the same file at exactly the same time, will unix internal file locking allow only one of the processes to access the file?
Many thanks
