Remote X

[Brian Densmore]

rsh sends user names and passwords in CLEAR TEXT. If you are connecting to
this remote box on an encrypted channel or internally and you trust all
users on the system, it's not a problem. If you are connecting over the
Internet, it could be monitored by servants of the Dark Lord on his Dark
Throne in the land of Mordor (Somewhere in around Redmond, Washington). ;')>

Best Regards,
Brian
