In your .ssh/config file, you can specify X11forwarding on or off on a
per-host
basis (plus a default). As with most everything, there is a
command-line switch
to set or override what is in the config file.
When posting to this list, it saves time to suggest the use of ssh -X,
since you
don't know who has what in their config file.

When I connect to to my work using SSH I use 'ssh -X' which allows X11
forwarding through the secure tunnel. In my case I have to do it twice
like a stepping stone. When you are connected to your desired host
there is no need to do a 'setenv DISPLAY ....' as the ssh command
takes
care of it for you. If you manage it you end up being 'unsecure' as
the
X11 path back is not encrypted.
Something I've been wondering... people keep mentioning the 'ssh -X'
command. Why is this necessary? I just use 'ssh' and it works fine. (I
have x11 forwarding set to 'yes') Does -X do something extra?
