whoa.... to everyone who has read this mail traffic,
did it occur to anyone that possibly the school doesnt allow this port fwding for the obvious security reasons. i think it is important that as responsible (s.a.'s) we tell what we know as best practices. we also probably dont wanna' be encouraging illegal activities by simply giving tech answers. we should disclaimer any info we give like the post i'm rsvp'ing about. if i had to make a determination about allowing this scenario unless the nets are experimental and access to such is clearly stated. ~piranha -----Original Message----- From: MaX List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Marc Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 11:21 PM To: MaX List Subject: Re: X11 Forwarding Op 29-okt-04 om 05:10 heeft Ryan Butler het volgende geschreven: > I use a computer at school, and i would like to be able to get x11 > forwarding to work.
