But I'll go look anyway. And here is an interesting observation, a lowercase -y works, the uppercase doesn't: gene@coyote:~/Public/rock64-next-try$ ssh -y pi@picnc pi@picnc's password: The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software; the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright. Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Last login: Tue Jul 24 17:56:59 2018 from coyote.coyote.den pi@picnc:~ $ But I don't get that final pi@picnc if I use the uppercase -Y. That ought to help pin it down I'd think. But maybe not, but the manpage on this machine says its a log path control. This manpage says ForwardX11Trusted, but it does not exist in that jessie machine sshd_config And now with all the fooling around, I can't restart the ssh service on this machine, getting this error: gene@coyote:~/Public/rock64-next-try$ service ssh start [....] Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshdCould not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key . ok I think I'd better quit while I still have a network. but do they exist?: yes: gene@coyote:~/Public/rock64-next-try$ ls -l /etc/ssh total 272 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 242091 Apr 30 2014 moduli -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1733 Nov 27 2016 ssh_config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2557 Nov 27 2016 sshd_config -rw------- 1 root root 668 Feb 3 2015 ssh_host_dsa_key -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 601 Feb 3 2015 ssh_host_dsa_key.pub -rw------- 1 root root 227 Feb 3 2015 ssh_host_ecdsa_key -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 173 Feb 3 2015 ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub -rw------- 1 root root 1675 Feb 3 2015 ssh_host_rsa_key -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 393 Feb 3 2015 ssh_host_rsa_key.pub So I am lost.
