You're over-complicating this. You can use X without forwarding X11 by tunneling VNC or using nxclient. Both methods display the remote X11 sessions without giving the remote system access to your local X server. For SSH, just start vncserver with the -localhost flag, and forward port 59xx as follows: ssh -L5900:localhost:5900 vncserver.example.com If you're using tightvnc (or the Debianizd vnc4 packages) you can do the same thing with the -via flag to vncviewer. Then just connect to localhost:0 with VNC, and voila! -- "Oh, look: rocks!" -- Doctor Who, "Destiny of the Daleks" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
