Hi,
I think I've found a hole!
I logged into this box from work yesterday via ssh, compiled Mono and some other bits then decided to try if I could run a C# app from this machine and view it at work.
I don't have X forwarding enabled and can see this by trying to run Firefox on this machine when logged into my sons box - firefox fails to run.
The C# application ran and I could use it at work.
I'm using the 643 kernel with everything updated. I'm not sure if this is a mono thing or X forwarding being broken. I'm using selinux targetted.
This could be a serious problem and I want to be sure before putting it into bugzilla as a blocker.
You mention 3 different machines 'this box', 'work', 'sons box'. - and don't quantify any of them correctly. (which OSes do they run?)
Older ssh by default does 'X11Forwarding' (so firefox should work). New version of ssh on FC3 requires '-y' option to do the same.
If you ssh into FC3 (from a different machine with older ssh) - you can run firefox. If you ssh from FC3 into any other machine - you need 'ssh -y' for it to work.
Note: this is ssh client side option.

I agree with Satish. Read the release notes for RC5. There is a section on openssh.
