Oh, OK. In that case, maybe rsh would be a useful alternative? Here's
something I do all the time from the local host running the Cygwin Xserver:
xhost remotehost
rsh remotehost xterm -display localhost:0 &
You can even wrap it inside a shell script:
#!/bin/sh
rhost=$1
lhost=`hostname`
xhost $rhost
rsh $rhost xterm -display $lhost:0
If you save this as, say, "rxterm", you'd call it with simply:
rxterm remotehostname

I have no intention to secure the X connection.
I use ssh simply because the remote guy doesn't have a telnet server
running. Do I still need to use the -X option?
) By the way, you're using ssh all wrong. What you should really be doing
is:
)
) 1) Invoke startxwin.sh
) 2) In the local xterm, verify that the value of DISPLAY is 127.0.0.1:0
) (and set it to that if it is not)
) 3) ssh to the remote box using the "-X" flag to enable X-forwarding.
) 4) Once connected to the remote host, verify that the value of DISPLAY
) is something like remotehost:8.
) 5) Run your remote X-clients normally.
