ForwardX11 yes is the same as -X. You can put it in /etc/ssh/ssh_config for system-wide client defaults or in ~/.ssh/config for user-specific client default or per host. But this is a red herring- the real issue is that the server is not allowing it. AllowTcpForwarding is for -L and -R opts. Red herring. -Y is a red herring too- it's just a less-secure -X. What you want is described in 'man sshd_config' which shows you how to control the ssh server (sshd) settings: /etc/ssh/sshd_config . -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
