           Summary: Wishlist: Warn when unable to write .Xauthority
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.8p1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: lists at stevello.free-online.co.uk


X11 forwarding fails when the remote disk is full, or when the .Xauthority file 
otherwise cannot be written.  There is no warning that this has happened, and 
the connection works, apart from that X11 apps refuse to start as they are not 
xauthed.   
 
It would be great if ssh could complain loudly when it was not able to set up x 
authentication. 
 
Thanks for all your hard work.
