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"?

On a local, fully contained network, why on earth not?

Yup, I use it all the time, but Carlos' question is perfectly valid. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

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.

In fact why consume bandwidth will all that ncurses drawing that is dependent on proper teminfo set up and the passing of the correct ENV settings for the terminal you are emulating.? Why not just forget YaST and do it all CLI? Push this through to its logical conclusion, eh?
