Hi,
During an update of a Gentoo box, I've noticed a new useflag for OpenSSH, X.
What is it for? Should I include it if I want proper X11 forwarding? |

| It looks like the OpenSSH X USE flag depends on x11-apps/xauth and virtual/x11. As "[t]he xauth program is used to edit and display the authorization information used in connecting to the X server[...]" I would enable this flag if you want X forwarding, unless you're running on a console-only basis. |
