Hello, Does OpenSSH have any plans yet to extend the existing X11 forwarding support to include Xprint - the XOrg standard for printing? Documentation can be found at http://xprint.mozdev.org/docs/ The only change required to have Xprint support is to forward the X print server connection referenced by the XPSERVERLIST environment variable similar to the video display server referenced by the DISPLAY environment variable. Thanks, David (please keep me in the CC: when replying to the list, I am not subscribed to openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org) ____________________________________________________ Aufnehmen, abschicken, nah sein - So einfach ist WEB.DE Video-Mail: http://freemail.web.de/?mc=021200

There was some discussion on the ietf-ssh at netbsd.org mailing list back in April on the issue of multiple X forwardings, but it seems to have fizzled out without producing a complete spec. -d
