I've run into an X app that will not run using the new gssapi-with-mic
ssh client (from a server using the an older athena sshd).
The application is the 'rm6' program used to configure Sun StorEdge
A1000 disk arrays.
I've tested this using the new ssh client on bot sun and linux, and
against Athena 9.2 and 9.3 servers (though I'm not sure I managed
every possible combination).
Strangely, running other X programs (xcalc was my test case) seems to
work without a problem. Less surprisingly, using the older 9.4 or
the 9.3 (becasue it's more convenient) ssh client, is a sufficient
work-around for the problem.
The specific error is:
alcyone.mit.edu# rm6
alcyone.mit.edu# X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GetWindowAttributes)
Resource id in failed request: 0x280003
Serial number of failed request: 13
Current serial number in output stream: 14
