What I could do with is a mode that allows an X session to be setup
through an SSH tunnel. So I need an SSH client that DOESN'T give me a
shell, but supports an X11 tunnel, prompts me for the SSH passwd and
runs a single command (the remote ~/.xinitrc say, and pipes the output
to a local file). Even better if I can select from a list of hosts at
startup. Does this xlauncher support that?
Currently, I'm using putty, but it asks for the passwd in a shell window
which you have to keep open. Any other ideas?
Nick.
