[Bug 987] "man ssh" doesn't mention 'ForwardX11Trusted'
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=987

Summary: "man ssh" doesn't mention 'ForwardX11Trusted'
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 3.9p1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: openssh-bugs@mindrot.org
ReportedBy: andrew.benham@thus.net


If one does a "man ssh", then there is a section entitled "X11 and TCP
forwarding" which makes reference to the '-X' and '-x' command-line options,
and to the 'ForwardX11' variable.
However this section makes no reference to the '-Y' command-line option, nor to
the 'ForwardX11Trusted' variable.

I suggest that mention should be made.

Later in the man page the command-line options are described. Whilst the '-X'
option is described in some detail, the '-Y' option lacks description.

I suggest that the '-Y' option should be described in more detail.

I realise that one may look at the "man ssh_config" page for more details of the
options, but I believe that the command-line options for ssh should be
documented in "man ssh".
