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
