this is probably in a FAQ somewhere --

	"how"?

i can create ssh connections between node A and node B
but... how can i use that to piggyback an X session or a

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #49 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
Looking to ENCODE OR DECODE SOME ROT-13 TEXT? No problem.
"Vg'f rnfl jvgu Ivz." It's a simple alphabet substitution where
each letter changes to its counterpart 13 places away in the
alphabet (a<->n, g<->t, etc) . Open the text in Vim, then
select it (type "v" at one end of the text to encode/decode,
then move to the other end) and then type "g?".
  Or, to rot-13 a whole line, just "g??".  That's all!
(Try ":help g?" for more info.)
