Thanks very muc


Just to complete it here, one can use secure shell:
in some xterm do
ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]        or
ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then start your favourite X application without specifying the display, i.e.

acroread

ssh will automatically forward the X application to your display, and you do not have to rely on the (possibly) limited security features of X11. The network connection is encrypted (as ssh does), so you can do this across untrusted nets.

Cheers, Martin Bock
