Now, that was an interesting observation! I can see it in the man page now that I specifically look for it but I am certain I have read it many times without paying attention to this difference in the past. In fact, when I asked even the most security-aware debian-using friends they too did not know that on a fresh debian box the "secure" way to run X11 programs from university machines requires quite a lot of typing: ssh -o'ForwardX11Trusted no' -X remote.example.com best regards, Timo Lindfors -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
