[Cialug] SSH annoyance

[Nathaniel Petersen]

Actually, the voodoo for that isn't as bad as it would seem.  I don't
do this too oftain, but Blog O'Matty has a good writeup:

http://prefetch.net/blog/index.php/2008/04/05/respect-my-xauthority/

It will not work in [Open]Solaris out of the box, as the Sun-packaged
OpenSSH server has a bug in it that will dis-allow any X forwarding
(the workaround requires a reverse tunnel through the localhost -
easier to compile from source or use the Blastwave pagkages).
