Use ssh as suggested. For numerous reasons, it's the secure alternative. If it's essential for you to run a direct X connection, read the appropriate XFree86 manpages looking for TCPIP listen configuration options, and find the config files in which they are specified. It's assumed that you shouldn't do this sort of thing unless you can work out how to do this sort of thing. Peace. -- Karsten M.
