Error message: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication

Until recently I was able to ssh from the Mac in my office -- runing
MacOS 10.6.4, to a Sun Solaris server -- running Solaris 10 10/09
(update 8) and all available patches installed, and run X11 programs
displaying on my Mac.
I installed these patches recently:

145074-01 SunOS 5.10: Trusted JDS Help rebranding patch
124457-03 X11 6.6.2: xdm patch
and now when I try to run certain programs, namely Symantec NetBackup
Server (NBS) administrator interface, jnbSA, when I run the program I see:
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
and jnbSA fails. I removed these patches:
118666-27 JavaSE 5.0: update 25 patch (equivalent to JDK 5.0u25)
118667-27 JavaSE 5.0: update 25 patch (equivalent to JDK 5.0u25), 64bit
124457-03 X11 6.6.2: xdm patch
with no change. I have made NO updates to NBS, and what's
even more weird, regular X11 programs such as x{eyes,biff,emacs}
work fine.
I've tried tinkering with the contents of ~/sshconfig and /etc/ssh_config
to no avail.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm confused why you posted on the Tarantella/SGD Forum then?
Yes, you can use SGD to have your Mac client display back a Solaris/Linux/Windows/Mainframe, etc application remotely.

Error: "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication"

I am not sure this is the correct forum to post this
question, if it is not, I'd appreciate it if someone would
tell me a more appropriate place.
I have an occasional problem when I use either ssh -X or ssh -Y
to a Oracle (nee Sun) Solaris host. I can run most
X11 programs but when I run one particular program, the
program will display this error message and fail:
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
The program which occasionally fails is the Symantec Netbackup
Server Administrator interface: jnbSA. Like I said other X11
programs run fine (xeyes, xbiff, xclock, etc.) It's just this
one application which fails intermittently. When it fails
it will display these messages:
DISPLAY environment variable is set to: p2:10.0
Console was started on:
SunOS p2 5.10 Generic_142900-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V250

X connection to p2:10.0 host broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)
Like I said, I can start, say xclock, immediately after
the above termination, and it would run fine.
It is maddening because jnbSA works sometimes, and
fails with the above errors at other times.
I have tried to follow this on the X11 forums, but
most suggest making a change to /etc/sshd_config and
while I tried changing that, it still does not correct
this problem.
Suggestions?

X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication- Opera not starting

Hi,
I tried X11 forwarding on a remote machine by giving the command
ssh -X user@remote-host-name
And I successfully logged into that remote machine and X11 is working properly. Even I started mozilla, firefox etc - working properly.
But, when I tried to start opera, I got the below error message.
-bash-3.00# opera
opera: $HOME set to /root. Use -personaldir if you do not want to use /root/.opera/
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
opera: Fatal IO error: client killed
I appreciate your efforts and guidelines.
Thanks & Regards,
Paras.

I have no idea but the Opera support Forums are usually active and competent.

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

I've updated to FF26 and get the follow error message "Secure Connection Failed" why is that?

ever since I've updated to FF26 some of the sites won't come up and show the following error message:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to www.facebook.com. SSL peer rejected a handshake message for unacceptable content. (Error code: ssl_error_illegal_parameter_alert)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
it does not happens all the time but most of the times.
this also occurs on google.com, twitter.com and many more.
what to do?

Do you have the option to turn off the feature of Kaspersky scanning your SSL traffic? Usually that can be turned off (e.g., in ESET and BitDefender).

Internet Download error message: the connection with the server has been reset

With an WRT54GS v6 firmware v 1.50.9 on Windows XP SP2 with Internet Explorer 7, Intel wireless internal adaptor w/ 802.11b, I was getting the error message "The connection with the server has been reset" when downloading most anything from the Internet. My IP address would then be reset and download would be interrupted. To resolve, I turned off the WZC (Wireless Zero Configuration) Services, and this seems to correct the problem.
Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services > Wireless Zero Configuration > Disable
Hopes this helps.

Hi!
Im using Windows 7.... I tried looking for the Wireless Config - but it isn't in the Services options!
So, what can I do now?
Thanx
