Which is what we call "bend over" security. Alternatives: 1. ssh -X -c des root@localhost [1] 2. su - ; xauth merge ~regularuser/.Xauthority ; export DISPLAY=:0.0 3. "Sux". http://fgouget.free.fr/sux/sux-readme.shtml [1] "-c des" overrides default ssh cipher to single-DES for minimal overhead. -- Cheers, Bah humbug. Shop late. Rick Moen Happy unChristmas.
