(Do not forget to check "Enable X11 > forwarding" option.) This ofcourse only makes sense if you have an X-server running on your windoze machine. Some avaliable X-servers are eXceed [1] and XFree86 [2] with Cygnus Cygwin [3]. I believe eXeed (which is closed source, propertary and expensive) comes with a SSH client which may (or may not) support the SSH2 protocol - I think it does. An evaluation copy can be downloaded [4]. XFree86 for Cygwin does not come with an SSH client, but Cygnus Cygwin ships with an OpenSSH client [5]. I should like to discourage people outside the USA to use X clients from inside BNL - it's just to slow (which isn't helped much by the two jumps you need to make either). In regards to all this CyperSecurity stuff. You should _always_ have RSA of DSA keys on your account, both at home and at BNL, and put those keys in the authorized_keys list (~/.ssh/authorized_keys) since this draticly increases security. There was an posting on /. [6] sometime ago about this, but I can't find it now :-( Yours, Christian Holm Christensen ------------------------------------------- Address: Sankt Hansgade 23, 1. th.
