In order to set up a quick link to an ssh session through citadel with X-forwarding the following code has to be added to a ~/.ssh/config file

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted yes

Host $machine User $crsid Hostname $machine.ch.private.cam.ac.uk ProxyCommand ssh -Y $crsid@citadel.ch.cam.ac.uk -W $machine.ch.private.cam.ac.uk:22

Host citadel User $crsid Hostname citadel.ch.cam.ac.uk </syntaxhighlight>

where $machine is the local host you would like to connect to (cerebro/sandstone/hylas ...)
