That's the great thing with technical e-mail lists like this one.
I asked a similar question a year or so ago after upgrading
openssh on a FreeBSD machine here, and the upgrade wanted the
ForwardX11Trusted option which I hadn't know about previously.
FWIW: I would like to see a mailing list for Mac OSX users that's
for general questions (and would be glad to host one if Apple
doesn't want to :-). I prefer general lists to a plethora of
tightly focused lists as (a) I often pick up things on topics I
didn't even know existed, and (b) the general lists are often
more newbie friendly than the more specific lists.
