Bzzzt. Man sshd(8):
X11Forwarding
Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted. The default is
``yes''. Note that disabling X11 forwarding does not improve se-
curity in any way, as users can always install their own for-
warders.
Man ssh(1):
ForwardX11
Specifies whether X11 connections will be automatically redirect-
ed over the secure channel and DISPLAY set. The argument must be
``yes'' or ``no''.
What man ssh(1) doesn't tell you in this paragraph is that even
if you say "ForwardX11 yes" in ~/.ssh/config, you will not get
a proxy X session unless the server has "X11Forwarding yes" in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config. The default that my system configured
itself with was "X11Forwarding no", and I've just changed it,
and now it works.
That's what I found out as a result of this conversation.
