From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: If I ssh to another system and start redhat-config-users over the ssh X tunnel, there is no way (except if I know certain users exist on one system and not another) to tell which system the window comes from. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-users-1.0.1-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.ducks# /usr/bin/redhat-config-users & 2.ducks# ssh root@desk 3.desk# /usr/bin/redhat-config-users Actual Results: I get two user configuration windows, and no way to tell which is which. Expected Results: The window title (or at least a menu item) should give hostname. Additional info:
I understand your point, but doesn't this same problem exist with pretty much every application that you might run over an ssh tunnel? I know I've gotten confused in the past when I had two copies of an app running...one was local and one was remote and it was pretty much impossible to tell the difference. So yes, I could change redhat-config-users, but that only fixes one app out of hundreds. In general, I'm reluctant to make those kinds of changes to one app when the actual problem is a much larger issue. I think the most feasible answer is for the user to be careful when are running an application through an ssh tunnel.
