moin, moin,

I've got a RH 7.1 box ( basic out of the box install ). I'm trying to ssh to
it, su to root, then open an X app back on my desktop.

Initial setup works fine. Then I move it to another network and my account
can do X stuff, but root can't.

I'm not dashing the su.

I think networking is setup fine. That shouldn't be making a difference as
it's working for a normal user. The machine did move from dhcp to static
networking, though.

It is moving from within a firewall to outside a firewall, but that
shouldn't matter, especially since X apps are working for a normal user
account.

Here's output with a couple of v's on the commandline:

This is bork if I log in and use su as well as just using "su -c" from the
desktop box.

I am not having this prob with a multitude of debian boxen on either side of
the firewall.

Both are running the same version of OpenSSH and both have the same
sshd_config setup. Debian is using OpenSSL 0x0090601f, while RH has OpenSSL
0x0090600f.

Anybody know how to fix this? Unfortunately this box has to run RH for now,
so my standard "fix" won't work :).

ciao,
