ssh -X antoheruser@localhost: XTEST extensions not installed
Hi. I've got an X app. running O.K. When I'm logged on as another user I give the command
ssh -X anotheruser@localhostThat all works fine, I can start Xterm and another screen appears.
Then I start that X app and I get the message "XTEST extensions not installed: Success"
Is that a cynical message or does it not fit? And why won't the app work when it does run 'natively" (not via ssh)?
It is the same X configuration.

About ssh again:
Recently I noticed that above mentioned trick did not work anymore. investigation learned that the sshd(eamon) was not running anymore. sshd started nagging about "/var/empty" and google brought me here http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/UserInfo/Resou … stall.html
That did the job. The "Creating ssh user (for privsep)" story works for Arch as well
