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"?

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

YaST has full text mode support for your use case.

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.
