Hi, I want to use ssh to connect to a remote machine, launch an xterm with the IP address of my X server display and exit ssh (there is no need to have ssh idled once xterm has started). I beleive that can be done in a single command, but I am clueless about the syntax. I am pretty much aware that running xterm -display IP-address:0.0 is pretty unsecure, but I consider the local environment to be secure enough. So far I used xrsh, which is based on rsh type of "authentication", by using ssh instead I intend to add password authentication. TIA, Olivier
