I have a newbie question regarding X connection forward by ssh. After I installed ssh-1.2.27 and ssh-2.0.13, I was unable to use 'X connection forwarding' at certain servers. Now I tried this command: $ ssh -l [username] [remote host] xterm -display [my ip address]:0.0 xterm of the remote host was opened and I could run X clients on the host. I want to make sure that this connection is secured or not by experts or experienced users of ssh. And one more question: What is the difference between above way of connection and just a connection to a remote host by ssh(just like a telnet) and run X clinets at the remote host shell? Thank you. -Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
