Well, the computer I'm using is an old SunOS server that my faculty uses,
I don't think that it has ssh installed (and they won't let me install
anything on the server).
The DISPLAY environment variable is local to my account, and I'll change
it when I'll be logging from home whis a dynamic IP, so it changes every
time I'm logging in.
I think it is pretty safe, what do you think? do you have any suggestions?
TIA,
Liran Zvibel.
