Hello,

I think, most of you agree, that using UseLogin option in OpenSSH when you are working with Solaris is a Good Thing (it helps to avoid problems with BSM and cron as well as few others), but...

...from man sshd: "Note also, that if this [UseLogin] is enabled, X11Forwarding will be disabled because login(1) does not know how to handle xauth(1) cookies."

As far, as I know OpenSSH will be shipped with Solaris 9. Will be this issue addressed somehow? It is quite stupid to use ssh and, when you are (for example) trying to install Oracle on Netra server to allow unencrypted X traffic to follow a network.
