    Managers,

    Thanks to Michael Caplin for letting me know that he was experiencing
    the same problem, and to Paul Moore from HP by having this to say:

    "This is a known problem, but unfortunately we do not yet have a fix for
    this issue. If you want a patch as soon as it becomes available I
    suggest talking to your customer support center and escalating this to
    support."

    We will have to wait for the new patch.

    Kevin

    -------- Original Message --------

    I've patched our Tru64 5.1A machines to SSH 3.2.2 as recommended by the
    recent security bulletin from 3.2.1. Now people who use ssh and bring
    up X applications on their Linux terminals gets errors like:

    /usr/bin/X11/xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "6012" in "add" command

    or

    BAD
    Error: couldn't connect to display "6013"
          while
    initializing application (Tcl_AppInit?)

    or

    Error: Can't open display: 6010

    Does anyone have the same problem
