Hi list :) is either of 1) having a host added to .Xauthority as trusted, and then doing "ssh -X usr@host cmd" 2) ssh -X -Y user@host cmd inherintly less secure than the other? (or more prone to becoming an attack vector to MY local computer? thanks! _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "All parts should go together without forcing.
