Hi list,
I use rsync in scripts to copy which hang because there were lot of xauth processes system is generating
 
$ps -ef |grep xauth
content 11566 11565 0 17:00:24 ? 0:00 sh -c /usr/openwin/bin/xauth -q -
 content 4194 4193 0 21:25:33 ? 0:00 sh -c /usr/openwin/bin/xauth -q -

when I ran the following command, it is giving a timeout error. Anyone know how to fix this?
$ ssh remotehost date
/usr/openwin/bin/xauth: timeout in locking authority file /xuma/thirdparty/content/.Xauthority
