First, my now obligatory gripe about ORBS. Please turn it off. Now
back to your regularly scheduled thread.

I would strongly advise against this method. This would allow anyone
logged in on that host to connect to your Xserver.
Instead, I would install Secure Shell (ssh). Not only is it good for
encrypting traffic, but it transparently sets up a secure X forwarding
system using good authentication. Then all you have to do is connect
to the server, run your command and watch it show up. If for some
reason the server doesn't have the secure shell daemon installed,
ask the sys-admin (nicely) to install it.
And, of course, you will need a fast connection to carry all
those bits.
