You can also specify the option globally, at least in your ~/.ssh/config. Yes, this is a slight security risk, but it works. I've had a different problem with X forwarding; the daemon doesn't properly set up the temporary Xauthority file. It only does an "xauth add foobar:10 baz quux", while my system seems to insist on "xauth add foobar/unix:10 baz quux" as well in order to have X forwarding work (X uses unix domain sockets instead of internet domain when connecting to the local host, because unix domain is a bit faster IIRC). I've taken to compiling from source until this bug (#49944) is fixed... -- finger for GPG public key. 29 Nov 1999 - new email address added to gpg key
