Hello Tarjei,

You don't need to provide a password if you correct configure 
client   $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa or  $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa

and 

server  $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys

Thus use of ssh to launch local apps should be straightforward.

You don't need NIS to launch local apps using rsh/ssh
NIS is fairly unsecure and should not be used unless you have a very trusty 
network, it makes shadow pass useless.

To launch local apps with rsh without NIS,

ltsp workstation: create an user named           rmtapps
ltsp server: create an user rmtapps with the same uid

to launch the app:

sudo -u rmtapps rsh/ssh ${DISPLAY%%:*} "appname -display ${DISPLAY}"

does the trick

of course, you will need a correct configured /etc/sudoers file.

Good luck.

Cicero
