Re: [FW-1] Secure Remote and X-Windows

[Lars Troen <lars.troen@FW1-NOSPAMPROXYCOM.NO>]

As X-windows is a client/server application where your client runs the X
server this won't work through securemote. The solution is to run an ssh
session to the server and let the x windows session go through the ssh
tunnel. This usually works automagically when you're using ssh.
