No dear. I keep up to date on all these issues. My router is not one of those.
Although it has got 'cisco' on the front.
*shrug* ssh means setting up 'password' files. If the server is compromised so are those files anyway.
that's because its owner has a huge experience of network security behind him.

Ineptocracy
(in-ep-toc?-ra-cy) ? a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
Yes, I meant using remote X display with _NO_ ssh involvement. The mechanism I was referring to uses xhost on the display side to allow connections and setting $DISPLAY on the sending side to include a hostname or IP address. As far as I am aware, it does not require xdm, because I was using it during the 1980s and had never heard of xdm at that time.

Yes I know that telnet and rsh are deprecated. My point was that you don't need to run a shell session on a remote system in order to start x-apps. Xdm can directly connect to a remote system and give you a desktop as if you were using the remote system's console.
Fair point, but I just wanted to point out that 'ssh tunnel' is not necessarily the same as 'ssh'.
Sure. Done that in other environments (think eXceed or Hummingbird on a 'doze box). However, for my usual way of working the command line is preferable.
