"X Power Tools"

The following
command will automate the process:
red$ xauth add :5 . $(xauth list blue:2|sed "s/.*-1//")
Why doesn??™t lbxproxy make much difference? Its compression algorithm is weak,
and the volume of cacheable data is insufficient to matter much.
There are some alternative packages available that work in a similar manner but offer
somewhat better compression; the Differential X Protocol Compressor (dxpc) is one,
but it must be executed on both the server host and client host.
However, in many cases, good general compression on the network link appears to
be as effective as a proxy compression tool.
13.12 X Tunneling with SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) provides a simple and effective way to run X clients on a remote
machine, addressing all three challenges of remote access. This is by far the preferred
approach to running remote X clients.
At its most basic level, SSH provides remote shell access, acting like a secure version
of telnet. But SSH also provides tunneling capability, which creates a listening port
on one end of the connection and forwards any TCP/IP connections through the
encrypted channel to a designated port on the remote host (or any system directly

reachable from the remote host).
