In my delving into the OpenBSD system and using Xorg, I 

noticed that .fvwmrc contains references to rsh, rxterm, and

rxvt.

 

Replacing rsh with ssh and rxvt with xterm was easy.  

However creating a replacement for the rxterm not so much.

 

>From the information I was able to gather, rxterm is a shell

script that creates a remote xterm (duh).  The .fvwmrc line

could easily be replaced with 'Exec ssh [remotehost] xterm 

-display $HOSTDISPLAY &' but that would defeat the intent

of the original line.  I have not been able in my admittedly

limited search of openbsd.org and google to find a shell

script that has replaced rxterm.

 

Is there one?

 

My intent is to provide a diff of the current .fvwmrc with

references to the insecure rsh etc stuff replaced with ssh

alternatives.
