you prolly meant -Y :D
Ok well just double checked and tested it here and -X works here. I
knew about -Y but thought you only use that if you absolutely have too :)
the reason I would prefer -Y is that its ( well, the man page says
anyway ) more secure than -X. Also, these days a lot of admins will
disable -X functionality on machines. Have not come across anywhere -Y
didnt work ( and the host OS was installed in the last 5 years ).
I am not doubting that -X will mostly work, but perhaps we should be
promoting the idea of -Y a bit more.
Coming from a fedora client, you have had to specify -Y for a while for
most things to work. But I don't think the man page makes it very clear
what the difference is. What's a 'trusted' forwarding mean as opposed
to any other kind?
