    Thats all well and good. I still use ssh -X to connect but need to run
    "X" programs on my local display. And bandwidth is also not an issue.
    This particular site houses our backup servers with two full T1
    connections going to it. My only point here is if someone else had not
    brought up the subject I would have been lost as to why I could not
    display remote "X" apps on my local display using xhost +<hostname> and
    exporting the display on the other end. And I firmly believe this is
    much safer than running VNC connections.
