[Mauiusers] Problem with X11 through qsub

[Nicholas Geraedts]

I ran the strings command Lawrence suggested, and found that qsub was
looking for the xauth file at /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth. After copying the file
located at /usr/bin/xauth to this location, it works!

Thanks so much for your help!

Cheers,
-Nicholas
