  I'm not sure I fully follow a "secure X" session is handled from a Mac
client. From a previous reply to an earlier message I had, someone had
suggested using F-Secure SSH (+tunneling?) to create secure X sessions
to my server, so that I would not have to share a monitor, keyboard and
mouse. I am curious about this setup. I assume I would need to purchase
*both* the ssh package, *and* an X server for the mac. Is this right? Do
they work together? Or is it just that if I export the display, after
logging in via ssh, the Mac X server will handle the GUI part of it? I
want to be clear on how this is working. Thanks.
