I've rebuilt ssh and put a second version on linux-rep. You can either
as root add the X11 link in /usr, or
rpm -U ftp://linux-rep/pub/security/ssh-1.2.26-2.i386.rpm
Afterwards you'll need to stop and start sshd. As root, execute
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd.init stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd.init start
That should fix the xauth problem. Stephen, could you send mail after
you do this to make sure my fix is correct?
