Including dialup connections. Anyone could sniff your keypresses or grab the content of your screen or display programms on your monitor. My suggestion is: Install ssh (it is available from non-us.debian.org) then ssh -l root localhost This will take care of magic cookies, will set DISPLAY and encript the connection. Ciao, Martin
