SSH X11 forwarding issues (with verbose data)

[Jack Tanner]

No, it should be on the local computer. Try this: run startxwin.bat, 
then open two xterms. In one, run the ssh -Y -vv ... command. When it 
freezes, in the other xterm try to run the xauth command by hand.

By the way, I gave you the wrong command syntax below. That should've been

$ /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth -f /tmp/ssh-WHATEVER/...

If I'm wrong, and it is on the remote computer, then from the second 
xterm you should be able to ssh in without X forwarding, and try it on 
the remote machine.
