Any idea?

It looks as though you are logging in by ssh -Y or ssh -X. xauth
is trying to get a response to allow port forwarding. This could
be caused by a missing home directory or a bunch of other things.

There have been problems in the undergraduate environment the last
36 hours, and this may just be another symptom.

So I asked some of people from the class and they cannot login even in
the graphic lab.

Is is possible to be fixed before tomorrow? Since I can't really do
anything about assignment 2 without compile it.

Has there been any further information about this? I can't ssh into any
graphics machines, even with X11 forwarding off. I have the assignment
finished, but, based on the README, it seems that it should be compiled
for the final time on a graphics machine.
