Description

SSH is a must for any remote administration - you would not use telnet to manage computers either. That's why I suggest that you add to EXAMPLES in x2x manpage:

===

EXAMPLES

To control slave.example.com with x2x in ssh tunnel: Install x2x to slave.example.com. Then connect $ ssh -X slave.example.com x2x -west -to :0. & Drag cursor trough left side of screen to control slave.example.com.

===

I put a more detailed example on http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/x2x_and_ssh.html

Also, put the bug ticket system address to manpage, it only has the non-working email address of chaiken.

Added the mail of myself and address of bugtracker, thanks. But I don't understand why do you mention a telnet?

Changed 3 years ago by technomancy@…

I think he mentions telnet because sending unencrypted data across the network is as insecure as telnet, and that SSH is a better solution.

  • priority changed from minor to major
  • type changed from defect to task
  • summary changed from ssh example for manpage to Users' manual is needed

Got the point. It's just the matter of writing manual here in such case. Any volunteers?
