if you don't want to see this again, then;

in /etc/ssh/ssh_config

change;
Host *
 ForwardX11 yes

to;
Host *
 ForwardX11 no

and i would put in things like the following, but make sure your
keys work first...

 FallBackToRsh no
 RhostsAuthentication no
 PasswordAuthentication no

and do similar things for your /etc/ssh/sshd_config
like dont allow remote root login etc ...

yours,


kim
