Is anybody in touch with SF maintainers? I assume this it's deliberate that ssh is not set up to handle X11 forwarding --- it's always been like this with interactive logins. It's possible they've just noticed this wasn't happening on the CVS port. The warning is from the local ssh; in this case it obviously doesn't need X11 forwarding, so the bug is really that it bothers testing and warning you, because CVS isn't passing the right flags to ssh. I've got rid of this by pointing CVS_RSH at the following scriptlet: #!/bin/sh ssh -x "$@" -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Unit 300, Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0XL, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070 ********************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
