Xstart Settings Dialog Box—Secure Shell Page

You can edit this page only if you select Secure Shell as the startup method.

Secure Shell area

Use For Authentication Only—Enable this option to secure only the authentication process. If you do not enable this option, Xstart secures your authentication to the host as well as all X application data that is passed thereafter.

Options—Specify additional command line parameters required by third-party Secure Shell clients. For example, if you are using Open Secure Shell and you want to use a specific cipher, you can type -c <ciphername>. Options in this box are automatically appended to the command sent to the host.

If an Xstart file is configured to use the Secure Shell startup method and the Use For Authentication Only option is disabled (the default), then you must ensure that the command does not contain any display information.

If you have enabled X11 tunneling for Secure Shell, ensure that the remote command you specify does not end with an ampersand (&).
