Re: Maybe Off-Topic: remote Perl Gtk2 via ssh

[imran s4-technology com]

Hello all,

iirc, the -Y (enable trusted X11 connection forwarding) has been in recent
clients only. the openssh client in mandrake 9.1 doesn;t have the option
while 10(& cooker) have it.

as a rule, i use ssh -XY hostname whenever the -Y option is available.

Regards,
Imran
