This is the source for xssh (version 1.0), a script for starting X clients
on remote machines via ssh.

Description: xssh facilitates starting X clients on remote machines.
Connections can be via rsh or ssh.  Authentication is via ssh, xauth, or
xhost.  Hooks are provided for sharing an encrypted/compressed channel
between several X clinets (possibly running on different machines).  For
more details read the man page.

xssh is based on the program xrsh (version 5.8) written by James J. Dempsey
<jjd@bbn.com>.

To build and install, use

    xmkmf
    make
    make install install.man

xssh uses two auxiliary programs:

canonhost (included here) which canonicalizes hostnames.

rexec (not included here) which connects to a remote host via the rexec
protocol.  Because of the security issues involved (users are tempted to
put plaintext passwords into .netrc), I recommend against using this.
