Hi all,
just wanted you to know, that OpenSSH 3.8 configuration seems to be the reason for some of the recent problems presented here (e.g. AltGr not working, emacs crash). I've had those problems, too. Takuma Murakami suggested that I checked my OpenSSH configuration. When I added "ForwardX11Trusted yes" to /etc/ssh_config, all my problems went away.
This is a very big problem. We get about 2 bugreports per day on the cygwin-xfree mailing list. What about making the X11ForwardTrusted default on cygwin?
I'm not actually keen to change another default setting of OpenSSH to an unsafe setting on Cygwin by default. It's bad enough to set StrictModes to no by default and I already have stomach pain due to that.
Especially I don't see why this setting should have another default on Cygwin as on any other OS. There's no difference between Cygwin and other OSes which justifies this measure, right?
The only difference I can think of is that none of the other ssh implementations (that I know of) on our platform, such as PuTTY and SSH Secure Shell, enable this feature by default (or even have this feature).
