My question was a bit of academic, in fact. I allready use vnc in ssh, but I
wanted to know whether it would be possible with X and not only vnc.
Why not use IPSec ? Hmm, the reason is that I know ssh, and not IPSec ;-). I
also suspect that it is harder to manage, but I may be wrong. It also seems to
me that the IPSec doesn't really do the same thing than ssh, and maybe ssh is
better suited for authentication (and IPSec for doing a VPN ?). But I have no
real knowing of all that stuff. I also know that ssh has some flaws, but I
think that's not a problem for the degree of security I want.
