Here is the scenario:

 From Server A (HP-UX 11.11) I ssh to Server B (HP-UX 11.23)

ssh -X -l user1 ServerB

 From user1 I can get X11 to work:

xclock

On host ServerB if I su - to user1 from user1 and export my DISPLAY it 
still works.

However, on Server B, if I su - to user 2 it does not work.  I get the 
error:
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication


We have X11 fowarding enabled in sshd_config.

I have tried playing with xhosts etc.

It seems this "cross" user pipe does not work.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!


thanks,
DM
