Setting the issue of whether you have to type out a passwd aside:
I'm not so sure about the efficiency angle. It appears to take no
config whatever for ssh -X to just work. Plus, it appears to be
portable with no extra vars to set or files to edit. It just works
from one machine to another, and it blends right in with my usage
practice established over many yrs and fairly ingrained by now.
The amount of resource waste has got to be nearly immeasurable. And
again, its a single user machine so I'm not stealing cpu cycles from
fellow users. I'm barely taxing the machine as it is.
All that said it is another way to get the results I wanted and
appears to be fairly easy to do... thanks to all of you.
