in the file
/home//.ssh/config

you can add

Host ahost
ForwardX11 yes

to always enable for that host

or use

Host *
ForwardX11 yes

to always enable it

Hi all,
can we make some changes in the sshd config file so that everytime we don’t have to specify -X or -Y option for opening a graphical interface??

Great article! Hoe would one achieve the same if there is another machine inbetween like this:
Desktop -> WRT54GL (OpenWrt) -> Server. I know there is a way one can forward packets via ssh, but how?

Thanks again.

Replace -X with -Y for a trusted/encrypted session :-j
