This is probably even more common knowledge than what shawn said but if you are always loging into a remote box with ssh you can make it so you login without it prompting you for a password.

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa

$ ssh server "mkdir .ssh; chmod 0700 .ssh"
$ scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub server:.ssh/authorized_keys2

I'm not completley sure, but I don't think so. If I'm understanding the process properly, the xwindows server on the remote box does all the work, then passes the results to the display. In this case you've asked for the display to be on your local box....

I was trying this out with Yast on the rack mount server that I was building. The data and speed of the resulting window was very specific to that server, not my local computer.... So I think this is added proof....

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong....

don't you need x windows on the local machine?
