Hi all, how do you estimate the security risk of the following situation: I log into a linux-server from a windows-client via telnet as normal user.

From the linux-server I start a x-session (command: konsole -display windows-client:0,0) to a x-server (MIXServer 5.6) on the windows-client.

From this session I open a ssh-session to a second linux-server where I have to work as root (su -).

Now, if I would scan the data between the windows PC and the linux-servers could I read them not coded, particularly could I read the root password in plaintext? TIA, Reinhard
