10/29   I tried ssh'ing to my csua acct from my csua acct to test
        ssh-agent and X11 forwarding.  Neither worked, so I created a
        ~/.ssh/config file with the following lines:
        Host *
             ForwardAgent yes
             ForwardX11 yes
        Now, X11 forwarding works, but ssh-agent forwarding still
        doesn't.  Any ideas?
        \_ perhaps your ssh to CSUA from whereever you are (say at work)
           doesnt have X11 forwarding either, whether by buildtime lack
           of support or runtime option.  ssh -v is your friend. -jon
           \_ But X11 forwarding works now, but not agent forwarding....
              \_ oops sorry, got the order reversed when i read your sentence
        \_ Ok, it works if I use ssh -1 csua, but not otherwise.  Is this
           a known issue?
