Hi,
I often use YaST via ssh -X from another computer. YaST would tittle the windows appropriately so that it would be know that it was not a local session, and say which machine it was.
No longer.
in leap 42.3 YaST on remote doesn't label itself. Bug? Feature?
Why waste bandwidth, increase latency, and add a measurable element of risk to your systems security by using "ssh -X" and why not instead just use plain "ssh"?
YaST has full text mode support for your use case.
This is a gigabit LAN. I want graphics and mouse, this is the XXI century. What risk? Should I use -Y instead? I use text mode yast when I must, but certainly not when I can use graphics. On other systems they have to transmit the whole desktop, on Unix/Linux the X is a client/server environment natively and we can transmit a single application. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
