- Provide TCP communications between the two points

In the physically secure networking case mentioned above, you can use the X11 protocal directly on the wire.
Neither SSH nor anything like NX is required.
Although the above list includes the modern X authentication through security cookies, the much older xauth can also be used in this case. |
I realize I can do it this way, however I was looking into SSH as that would allow me to do it securely over WiFi. Though, I do suppose I can use Xauth over WiFi here at home. It's not like I'm working with anything mission critical at this point.
