[X-Unix] Tiger X11.app and xforwarding in ssh

[John Harrold]

Sometime in May William H. Magill assaulted the keyboard and produced

| X11 forwarding is disabled in ssh on OS X -- always has been.
| 
| You need to modify /etc/ssh_config and /etc/sshd_config  to allow it:
| 
| Uncomment and change from "no":
| 
|       ForwardAgent yes
|       ForwardX11 yes

I could be wrong but I believe the ssh_config file sets the defaults for
clients which can be altered at runtime. In this case using -X or -Y
overrides the default option of ForwardX11 no.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
