Hi Mikkel,

I've checked the ssh config and it does match every other machine I have on the network. Also, ForwardX11Trusted is set to yes.

Today I am on another site on my network, and have a different DHCP allocated IP address/subnet. It may be a coincidence, but this morning, every server I have connected to today has worked every time. Yesterday it failed nearly every time.

The servers I was connecting to are on 10.1.0.0/16, 10.2.0.0/16 and 10.5.0.0/16. My IP address yesterday was 10.1.1.2. My IP address today is 10.2.1.29

I'm sure I've reported this a while back but I can't find it in the archives.

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?

1 - checked and looks fine 2 - X works fine locally, and as I said yesterday works fine from a different site/subnet.

Selinux is set to permissive, but also didn't report anything

Interestingly, I am back on the 1st site again today and the problem has recurred and seems to be a solid fault

I have done a clean install of FC11 (was FC10 before) and the same problem occurs on one site (the one I'm on now).

I linked in remotely yesterday and all was fine. I use it from other sites no problem. I've used it from this site and the problem occurs intermittantly, but today it's solid.

An example of a session from today. X seems to behave, but BASH auto-complete and screen handling doesn't.

Anyone got any ideas?
