not only is xhost not used, the binary is deleted if it exists every night on all servers by cron.
Ah. Satisfyingly BOFHish.
I have figured out what the problem is, but not how to solve it. Running the daemon in 3-layer-deep debug mode (-ddd) I discovered that the reason the server is responding "Error: Can't open display:" is debug2: bind port 6260: Address already in use repeated 999 times, for the 999 ports from port 6000 to port 6999. Then the two messages Failed to allocate internet-domain X11 display socket. debug1: x11_create_display_inet failed.
Oh. That's a first for me. Unfortunately, the number of ports to try is hardcoded into channels.c. I guess you have to try to find out what's eating your ports. -- Leif Nixon - Systems expert ------------------------------------------------------------ National Supercomputer Centre - Linkoping University ------------------------------------------------------------
