Thank you for responding.
I have two computers comp1 (local) and comp2 (remote) connected by
ethernet.
'ssh comp2' allows me to log into comp2 from comp1 but as a
command line user and the connection is encrypted.
X :1 -query comp2 (after changes to /etc/inittab,
/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config and /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers on comp2)
allows logging into a comp2 Xwindows from comp1.
if I do 'ssh comp2' and log in - and then type startx - an Xwindow
is started on comp2 not on comp1
I want to log into comp2 from comp1 by way of the Xwindows
which is what X :1 -query comp2 does.
You are saying it isn't possible to ssh wrap the command
X :1 -query comp2
like
tar cf - /dir | ssh comp2 tar xf -
so the Xwindows login connection is encrypted over the ethernet?
thanks,
