Tony, first of all, thank you for investigating this problem. What is missing from the bug description is that this problem is not omnipresent, but arises spontaneously. That's why you do not see it with a new and vanilla installation. All I can report is that it may occur at any time after cssh has worked fine, and I always could "solve it" (remove the problem) it by deleting my .Xauthority file.
I agree that corruption of .Xauthority may be the cause, however, it is unclear what this corruption is, when it occurs, which agent causes it, and why cssh seems to be the only client that seems to object to this. Sorry if this is not very helpful, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1393483 Title: error reading .Xauthority To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clusterssh/+bug/1393483/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
