Bug Description
The version of Torque (both torque-client and torque-client-x11) has an incorrect path for xauth, preventing Torque's X forwarding feature from working. To reproduce the problem, set the DISPLAY environment variable correctly on the head node and then run:
qsub -l nodes=1 -I -X
An error will then be produced:
qsub: xauth: : No such file or directory
qsub: Failed to get xauth data (check $DISPLAY variable)
That error will be produced even if your DISPLAY variable is set such that X applications will start when run directly. The issue is discussed at http://
