ssh automatically tries to connect to a remote X server when a conneciton is established, to disable this behavior(for good) recompile ssh with the configure flag --without-x to make sure nobody can connect to your X server or use your ssh client to connect to a remote X server.
dont think anyone can 'hack' your X unless they already had an account on your machine. nate On Thu, 6 Jan 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: debuse >>From my Linux box at work, I was using ssh to connect to my personal ISP. debuse >I had X11 forwarding turned on.
