In ssh >1.2.x, I say ssh -o ForwardX11=yes, but that doesn't work in OpenSSH. >Bug or feature? Browsing the source, it looks like "ssh -o 'ForwardX11 yes'" should work. Both ssh and openssh define -o as: -o 'option' Can be used to give options in the format used in the config file. This is useful for specifying options for which there is no separate command-line flag. The option has the same format as a line in the configuration file. However, ssh allows lines in the configuration file to be of the form "keyword = arguments" but openssh only allows "keyword arguments". So you're really running into a difference in configuration file parsing. Ugh =) Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
