10.3: Re-establish X11 forwarding after upgrade
Authored by: zojas on Jan 30, '04 12:47:49PM

hold on there. the /etc/ssh_config file only controls when you are on the local machine and sshing to a remote host. turning on X forwarding in /etc/ssh_config will forward a connection to your local X server, you can run commands on the remote machine and display them locally.

the /etc/sshd_config file controls the local sshd, for when you are on another machine and you want ssh back into this one. X forwarding in this file allows you to ssh into this machine, run X clients on this machine, and see them on the remote machine you sshed in from.

Thanks for posting this... there's a big difference between ssh_config and sshd_config. Hopefully my typo hasn't caused anyone frustration. sshd_config y'all!
