Error message: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication

807578Aug 20 2010 — edited Aug 21 2010
Until recently I was able to ssh from the Mac in my office -- runing
MacOS 10.6.4, to a Sun Solaris server -- running Solaris 10 10/09
(update 8) and all available patches installed, and run X11 programs
displaying on my Mac.

I installed these patches recently:

142900-15 SunOS 5.10: kernel patch

145074-01 SunOS 5.10: Trusted JDS Help rebranding patch
124457-03 X11 6.6.2: xdm patch

and now when I try to run certain programs, namely Symantec NetBackup
Server (NBS) administrator interface, jnbSA, when I run the program I see:

X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

and jnbSA fails. I removed these patches:

118666-27 JavaSE 5.0: update 25 patch (equivalent to JDK 5.0u25)
118667-27 JavaSE 5.0: update 25 patch (equivalent to JDK 5.0u25), 64bit
124457-03 X11 6.6.2: xdm patch

with no change. I have made NO updates to NBS, and what's
even more weird, regular X11 programs such as x{eyes,biff,emacs}
work fine.

I've tried tinkering with the contents of ~/sshconfig and /etc/ssh_config
to no avail.

Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
