do you still see a speed improvement using KDM vs. LDM with LDM_DIRECTX=True ?
this feature still uses ssh for the initial connection (i.e. namely, the
password negotiation), but plain X11 protocol for the rest of the session, and
still should work with most of the other features of LDM (local devices, sound,
and in newer versions, local applications).

as i understand it, it is actually trivial to packet sniff on switches, and
provides no real security benefit. all you have to do is enable promiscuous
mode on your ethernet device, no?
