Whether to request X11 forwarding on outgoing connections by default.
|
||||
This is useful for running graphical programs on the remote machine and have them display to your local X11 server.
|
||||
Historically, this value has depended on the value used by the local sshd daemon, but there really isn't a relation between the two.
|
||||
Warning: never enable X11 forwarding unless you are connecting to a machine you trust!
|
||||
Note: there are some security risks to forwarding an X11 connection.
|
||||
NixOS's X server is built with the SECURITY extension, which prevents some obvious attacks.
|
||||
To enable or disable forwarding on a per-connection basis, see the -X and -x options to ssh.
|
||||
The -Y option to ssh enables trusted forwarding, which bypasses the SECURITY extension.
