Hello freinds.
Recently installed solaris 10 on a "sun ultra 10" with all the included features in the 5 CD set except sendmail support which i never needed.
I am trying to ssh into the servers at my school which I can very easily do using linux. It seems that there is something wrong with the font libraries or something as on this machine I cannot ssh to those servers using X11 tunnelling.
On issuing the following command ssh -X username@domainname I get the following error on my console:
xset: bad font path element (#65), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax

This does brings me to the prompt of the server but I can only use the CLI. I cannot have the X window system on the server show up on my system here. The servers are sun servers too.
Additionally when i try to ssh into the servers that are linux based, i cannot even get to the prompt. I mean after issuing the command as before, and pressing return, the console sits doing nothing and nothing happens.
A bit more information on the sun servers since those are the only ones that atleast seem to allow ssh entry.
echo $DISPLAY before the ssh(while im still on my own machine) returns:
:0.0.
After reaching those sun based servers when i issue the same command at their prompt i get:
localhost:13.0
