    Dear all,

    I have seen following "feature". I'm not sure, if it is a ssh-, linux- or X11-"feature"
    but somewhere must I start.

    I have two boxes:
    notebook:
    SuSE 7.3 Linux
    ssh (OpenSSH_2.9p2)
    Netscape 7
    KDE 2.2.2
    bash 2.05.0(1)
    SuSE-Personal Firewall = active

    server:
    SuSE 7.3 Linux
    ssh
    Netscape 4.78
    KDE 2.2.2
    bash 2.05.0(1)

    I work with my notebook and open some Netscape-windows (on notebook -> v7).
    Than (from the same console but another shell -> in KDE console can be in the
    same console more) I do following:

    grema@notebook> ssh -X grema_user@server

    RESULT: I'm successful logged on the server.

    Than call I netscape (4.78) on the server:

    grema_user@server> netscape&

    RESULT: I have a Netscape window, but Netscape7 ! This Netscape was started
    really local (I have seen my local /home (-> /home of notebook) )
    SUMMARY: I have been executed from "server" process on my local box.
    I (we) have this behaviour reproduced. Also with other machines.

    user@workstation <-> grema_user@server
    (grema_user@server -> the same user and the same server as in previous example)

    than have I killed all local(@notebook) Netscapes. And the "Netscape7@server"
    was killed also as local process (grema@notebook> killall netscape-bin)

    At now it is no more possible to reproduce this behaviour.

    It is a ssh-bug?
    Any other ideas?

    Thank you for answer.

    Regards
    Martin
