True enough, but ssh makes the X11 DISPLAY things so easy! One doesn't have to much with xhosts and such. << Let me amplify (sorry for another post!): I was really making a point about the nature of trust, not the convenience of SSH. If you think you want to enabled trusted forwarding (-Y), ask yourself "Would I be happy telneting into this host?". If the answer is yes, then use trusted forwarding. If the answer is no, then don't.
