openssh-2.1.1p4 and sco 5.0.5

[Stephan Hendl]

Hi folks,

just I installed openssh 2.1.1p4 on a sco OpenServer 5.0.5 machine and it works fine. The only problem I have is the X11 forwarding. I have allowed this feature in the /etc/sshd_config and the /etc/ssh_config, respectively and the /usr/bin/X11/xauth program was in the PATH during compilation.

As you can see in the logfile the sco system enables the X11 forwarding and sets the DISPLAY variable properly like other systems. The problem is that the system must have two device files according to the displaynumber in $DISPLAY like /dev/X10R uand /dev/X10S. 

hendl at sco-pers:/home/hendl > xterm
/dev/X10R: No such file or directory
Error: Can't open display: sco-pers:10.0


I tried to create these two files but the error was still: "Error: Can't open display: sco-pers:10.0".

Thanks for your help.
Stephan
