session management error

[Andern]

I'm running RedHat 7.3, and using a Linksys DSL router. I tried ./showeq -i eth0 192.168.1.100(ip of my nic) and also tried ./showeq -i eth0 192.168.1.1(ip of the router) and both times was given this message:

Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the
authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based
authentication failed

is there anything wrong with my showeq.xml file? or is it just not opening because I had a session management error?

Not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong, but any suggestions on how I could fix this would be great =)

Oooh, do I get to say it? :) Search is your friend. Try here:

What exactly is your problem. I don't see anything in that log that is a problem??

hrm read the thread but It didn't seem to help me much.. I guess its not the authentication errots thats my problem then. So It must be the error
Using config file '/usr/local/share/showeq/showeq.xml'
Loaded preferences file: /usr/local/share/showeq/seqdef.xml!
Unable to open file: /usr/local/share/showeq/showeq.xml!

the showeq.xml is in that directory, but I'm not sure why showeq can't open it.

Basically showeq starts up with an unknown map, and even when I select the map from the current zone.. It doesn't work.

A few possibilities

1) Are you running as root?
2) Did you 'make install'?


Linksys DSL router

Isnt going to work anyways... search for "linksys router" for more information.

So THAT is the problem. Basically SEQ is doing nothing? If so, as Jeeves said, going through a router won't work. Search for Linksys on these forums and stand back, the firehose unleasheth :)

Try re-compiling it. Do "make clean" in your seq source directory then go through the usual steps, "./configure && make && make install"

This error occurs when you run SEQ from a users account instead of running xwindows from root.

What I mean is that if you logon as lets say joeblow and start xwin, bring up a term window, SU, go to /usr/local/bin, run ./showeq, you will get this error.

It does not occur if you start xwin from the root account.

Really you should not be running under root for security reasons. The error doesnt seem to cause any problems being run under a users account so basically dont worry about it.
