Hi Branden,

Here is a script I have written for using lbxproxy and ssh together. I suggest
putting it in /usr/share/doc/lbxproxy/examples.

Alternatively put the original script in ../examples.

 - Jonas

#!/bin/sh

# Neat little script for easy use of lbxproxy with ssh.
# Based on this: http://www.gelatinous.com/aaron/tips/lbxproxy
# and adapted by Jonas Smedegaard <dr@jones.dk>

# Changes from original script:
#  * Instead of another custom script "remote-frame", simply open a
#    terminal and quit lbxproxy on exit.
#  * Ssh compression and X forwarding is explicitly enabled.
#  * Path to lbxinit is not hardcoded - just place this script somewhere
#    in your path.
#  * Get rid of "l" and "r" options (more intuitively in my opinion).

# The following is from the web page:

# How do I get lbxproxy to work with xauth/ssh? I can't connect.
#
# I kept trying to get lbxproxy to work over ssh, or even just with
# plain xauth. The only way I could make it work was with 'xhost +'.
# Finally I found an article by a Ted Rathkopf that showed me a way to
# make it work. If you are getting access control problems to your X
# server, here's what you need to do.
#
# Instead of just extracting your cookie or attempting to use the ones
# that ssh creates for you, you must get your real xauth key over to the
# target and fudge it so that the display entry is adjusted for the
# proxy (:63 by default).
#
# Example:
#
# On my DSL host, I use 'lbxinit r ' (r is for remote). This causes an
# 'lbxinit l ' on the remote host -- (l is for local). Yeah, there are
# easier ways to do this, but I wanted to have one script I could copy
# around.
#
# [the script itself]
#
# Hey, what's remote-frame?
#
# You need to start some long-running X app in the local section or else
# lbxproxy gets huffy and quits after the first client exits, even
# though the man page says otherwise. So, I open up a frame of my emacs
# on that host.
#
# I turned off compression with -nocomp because ssh does its own stream
# compression. You might need to enable it with the -C argument to ssh.
#
# The last thing I did was make an 'lbx' shell alias that sets my
# DISPLAY environment to :63.
