I don't know about FC2, but some prior version of Fedora or Red Hat
Linux had X forwarding allowed as default, now it's disabled as default.
You can change it, so all you'd type is "ssh gene at shop" or just "ssh
shop" (if you were logging on remotely as the same username as locally).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
