I am trying to do the ssh thing -- first of all I thought the option
was -Y -- as I read in the ssh manual, or should I not do that? I
have an Xauthority file on the remote system which was made from an
xauth generate on the Cygwin system.
When I did that once it worked, but now it says whenever I run
something -- connection refused by server -- invalid magic cookie data
(words to that effect).
Any help would be appreciated.
