Can someone explain the ins and outs of X11 Forwarding under ssh?
* Is setting "ForwardX11 yes" in /etc/ssh_config equivalent to adding
the "-X" flag to every ssh command? From my tests, it seems to be.
* How does the X11Forwarding flag (in /etc/sshd_config) affect the
situation? It seems like using the "-X" flag is letting my FreeBSD
box display apps on my OSX machine's X11 server. How would this be
different if X11Forwarding was enabled on the remote machine?
More to the point, what benefits would this provide and how would
the user have to configure things to take advantage of them?
