[X-Unix] XWindows

[John Harrold]

Sometime in May AKappyCT assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Interesting, man SSH (TIger) found no man page, man (Panther) SSH shows 
| no Y flag.
| 
| What does the Y flag do? Do you think I need to install the whole XCode 
| kit to get the rest of the man pages?

This is from the man page on my Linux machine (Debian/Sarge).

     -X      Enables X11 forwarding.  This can also be specified on a per-host basis
             in a configuration file.

             X11 forwarding should be enabled with caution.  Users with the ability
             to bypass file permissions on the remote host (for the user's X autho-
             rization database) can access the local X11 display through the for-
             warded connection.  An attacker may then be able to perform activities
             such as keystroke monitoring.

     -Y      Enables trusted X11 forwarding.

 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?
