Read the 'man ssh' for more details. IIRC ssh ships with X11Forwarding disabled. This does not inprove security in any way. But it eliminates complaints to the mailing list and therefore they do it. Not enabling it solves a human problem not a technical one. You need the following set in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file to enable X11 forwarding. But even if it is not set you could forward X11 by issuing the raw commands directly. Not allowing it does not increase security in any way, it merely makes it inconvenient. X11Forwarding yes Bob
