Re: ZoneAlarm Suite popen hang

I don't want to confuse anybody, the command in question is being run
internally by ssh to setup an X authorization cookie to pass over the
the xterm on the remote system.  I did try -n to no avail.

ssh -vvv -n -X target
OpenSSH_4.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005

The message I referenced earlier goes into some depth about
x11_get_proto and how the xauth command above is being run:

Perhaps popen is using a socket or named pipe????

I do appreciate the suggestions so far.  I just don't yet understand
how the installation and deinstallation of ZoneAlarm is effecting
this behavior.
