Greetings List Lurkers,

Well if Anthony can ask interesting questions, so can I!

For many years I aliased "ssh" to "ssh -Y" (I am so ashamed :^).


Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word "ashamed". I do not think it means
what you think it means.

For that particular alias, I would probably go with editing

~/.ssh/config

instead. Marvelous stuff can be done there, including global settings and
site-specific settings, allowing you to "mostly" have X11 forwarding,
except for specific sites or versy-vicy.

And, together with the afore-mentioned avahi, wonders can be achieved.

Alias uncertianty

2016-10-14 Thread Paul Flint

Greetings List Lurkers,

Well if Anthony can ask interesting questions, so can I!

For many years I aliased "ssh" to "ssh -Y" (I am so ashamed :^).

My life was better! Whenever I needed to invoke xeyes, it was always 
there!  The question I ask my fellow Unixistas, is does this kind of 
laziness and sloth invoke some malevolent Protestant god because I dare to 
mitigate my own suffering? After all this is Washington County, Vermont 
where we live in cold darkness and strike rocks together for fun...


Awaiting enlightment with...

Kindest Regards,
