Error message: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication
807578Aug 20 2010 — edited Aug 21 2010Until 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:

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!
