I'm having a problems connecting from my laptop to a number of my servers. It's not a solid fault, but it's fairly constant at the moment.
I have a number of servers FC7 to FC10 that I connect to, as well as a number of FC10 workstations. These all work fine. However from my laptop I get the following when I connect:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. tcsetattr: Interrupted system call Last login: Wed Aug 26 11:13:21 2009 from gary.ringways.co.uk [root@stan ~]#
and then once I'm in the BASH command line editing doesn't work.
Can anyone suggest where I can start looking into the problem. I'm not too bad with ssh but have no knowledge of xauth, konsole, BASH etc.

Dumb question - have you compared /etc/ssh/ssh.conf on your laptop to the same file on machines that do not give you trouble? It sounds like an xauth problem on the laptop...

Two other things to consider, unlikely but easy to check: 1 - had the sshd.conf file been changed 2 - does X work properly at the console and did you look at selinux alerts?
