If X11 SECURITY extension is compiled in, treat the client applications as untrusted (the effects of this depend on your Xserver’s security policy). See TrustX11Applications in ssh2_config(5) for addi- tional details. +X As above, but the client applications are treated as trusted. -x Disable X11 connection forwarding. so the +X should have done the same thing as the -Y you specified. -- James A.
