What I want to understand is the difference between -Y and -X. The man page for ssh simply says: -Y Enables trusted X11 forwarding. Does anyone have any pointers to docs that better explain the difference between -Y and -X, I'd like to better understand the security risks that may be involved. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
