Re: No xauth program

["Scott T. Marshall" <marshallst at APPSTATE dot EDU>]

Thanks for the suggestion Jon. I don't know exactly what I should ask 
xauth to do or what syntax is requires (the man page was not completely 
clear to me), but what I can say is that if I try to execute xauth in an 
xterm, it gives no errors.
I can also say that when I ssh to other linux machines, I can open X 
applications, but my cygwin/windows 7 x64 box will not forward x windows 
when someone log onto it.
