Emn, I am not quite clear here too... If you run an ssh session and from
it you start a (remote) X-client - is it enough to wrap X in ssh or you
have to do something else? I couldn't seem to find an answer to this in
ssh man / info... Yesterday my firewall (quick self-setup, certainly not
flawless, might want to test it sometime somewhere - suggestions?) blocked
my attempt to run an X-session from ssh...

Thanks
