Hello,
I have a question about X forwarding. I was told that we can't X forwarding anymore, do to a security checklist.
Example:
bitlord@server1# ssh -X server2
So we have to use the DISPLAY variable now. I thought this was less secure?
Example:
bitlord@server1# xhost + server2
server1 being added to access control list
bitlord@server1# echo $DISPLAY
:1.0
bitlord@server1# ssh server2
bitlord@server2# export DISPLAY=server1:1.0
bitlord@server1# gedit #for example
What gives, is this more or less secure the X forwarding? Is there a better way?
Any info would be helpful
