[lug] Command line ssh

[Nate Duehr]

Hi Glenn,

SSH can either be used to bring a remote terminal session to you or to
remotely start an application, and it looks like you may have mixed up
the documentation for the two.

What I think you really want is :

ssh -l username servername

That will get you a shell on the remote machine.  You may have to agree
a yes/no question regarding the key exchange necessary... type "yes".

To forward X sessions to your local machine (if it's been allowed by the
remote admin) you can use:

ssh -X -l username servername 

(hopefully I got that right... neither of the machines here running
Linux have X on them at the moment where I'm at, and I'm in Windows on
the laptop at the moment, so I can't test that... it should be close
though!)
