[Mauiusers] Problem with X11 through qsub

[Nicholas Geraedts]

Hello everyone,

I'm having some troubles setting up interactive X-window job submissions,
and I'm not sure if this is a Maui/Torque issue, or a linux configuration
issue. All of our machines are running CentOS5 (mixed 32 and 64 bit) and
have the following enabled in the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file:

Host *
  ForwardX11 no
  XAuthLocation /usr/bin/xauth

When I try to run an interactive job things work fine, but there are no
X-windows. When I use the -X option for qsub, I get the following error.

qsub: xauth: : No such file or directory
qsub: Failed to get xauth data.

When I ask for 'which xauth', I get /usr/bin/xauth, as expected.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.


Thanks in advance,
