I see this sometimes with ssh even when I don't run an X app remotely. |
| 11 |
I think it's an ssh thing and my guess is that it's local, not remote. |
| 12 |
If I don't hit control C, go to another machine and shell into the |
| 13 |
same remote machine my login on that end from the first machine is |
| 14 |
gone. |

I agree. Going across the net I find -C to be quite helpful running |
| 25 |
something like Firefox. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Note that since I manage the machine at the other end I actually use |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
ssh -X -Y -C -c blowfish |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
The -Y seems to let a few more things work. Not a big deal but it's |
| 32 |
the way I do it. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I think -c blowfish may be the default but I type is anyway. |
| 35 |
