secure X terminal? (was: 12 box network...)
On an only slightly related note, has anyone some experience with
secure X terminals? The i686 box on my desk is noisy. I would like to
replace it with an X terminal, but the X connection must be secure (I
type various root passwords and stuff into this box). I'm thinking
about a quiet diskless i486, running X over ssh. Anybody done this?
Or are there any products out there that do this out-of-the-box?
