Re: Prepackaged indirected X terminal

What, is it this problem you are trying to solve:

  #!/bin/sh
  h=$1  # hostname
  scp $h:.Xauthority . || xhost +$h
  while /bin/true
  do
    X -query $h
  done

Your

> - remote: the server is local and management is remote

line is the same as your "foreign" or "xdmcp" line from what
I can see.
