Oh, if you can't get root on the machine you're trying to run your X clients on, your best bet is probably to ftp/.netrc or rcp the data over (whichever you can get to work). You could change your .profile on the remote machine to check for such a file and do an xauth merge <"file" ; rm "file" if i

Oh ssh does more than this. It tunnels the X protocol through it's own connection and creates a pseudo-Xserver on the remote machine. You could use scp to copy the file over before hand. The best option is probably to set up a script which you run from the menu. Daniel Martin at cush wrote: > "R
