Managers,

Thanks to Michael Caplin for letting me know that he was experiencing
the same problem, and to Paul Moore from HP by having this to say:

"This is a known problem, but unfortunately we do not yet have a fix for
this issue. If you want a patch as soon as it becomes available I
suggest talking to your customer support center and escalating this to
support."

We will have to wait for the new patch.

Kevin


-------- Original Message --------

I've patched our Tru64 5.1A machines to SSH 3.2.2 as recommended by the
recent security bulletin from 3.2.1. Now people who use ssh and bring
up X applications on their Linux terminals gets errors like:

/usr/bin/X11/xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "6012" in "add" command

or


BAD
Error: couldn't connect to display "6013"
      while
initializing application (Tcl_AppInit?)

or

Error: Can't open display: 6010

Does anyone have the same problem
