[NTLUG:Discuss] X displays over ssh

Sorry, just have to recap this, the -X or -x flags are not valid for
sshd. By default it uses the config file in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
Everything in this file is commented out with a # sign, so I assumed it
was not comments, but after further looking they are comments, and all I
had to do was uncomment the 3 lines:

X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes

When I tried the -X I got an message saying it was invalid. digging
deeper into the man pages, (mine were corrupt, had to download new ones,
which is another problem I had and do not know how they got corrupted) I
found no references to the -X option. Is this an option that was there
before? Thanks again Mad Hat
