Bug#951640: openssh-client: ssh(1) man page: bad documentation for -Y



Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:8.1p1-5

The manual page says that -Y "does nothing in the default configuration". This is incorrect. The option, like -X, enables X11 forwarding:

  $ DISPLAY=:42 ssh localhost 'echo DISPLAY=$DISPLAY'
  DISPLAY=

  $ DISPLAY=:42 ssh localhost -Y 'echo DISPLAY=$DISPLAY'
  Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
  DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
