Fix Apple's X11 to allow remote use of Mac X11 apps
Authored by: thrig on Sep 15, '03 12:37:19PM

I usually recommend the user@hostname format: it is similar to an e-mail address and thus easier for users to remember than a odd flag. I also recommend that the default username be placed into the user's ~/.ssh/config file, as I see frequent login failures on systems at work from people who keep forgetting that their account names are different on different systems.

For example, say the client system has the username johndoe, while the remote server example.org account for the same person is jdoe. The following entry in ~/.ssh/config will let johndoe on the client system simply type ssh example.org and login automagically as jdoe.

Host example.org
  User jdoe
