This is what I use currently. It works very nice: Just ssh into the computer you want to run applications on, and run the application you want in the background. The program will automatically be forwarded to the X server you are locally running on, and everything will be encrypted transparently.
Now, a previous message in this thread asked how it is possible to connect my local X client to a remote X server. The answer said rstart, but I won't even bother using r* utils. What is the most secure method of accomplishing this?
Why do you want to initiate a program running on your computer in front of you, and have its display appear somewhere else?
In case I did not explain myself enough. I want to sit at a friends computer who also runs Suse 6.4, and start X up just like it is my machine I'm at. All my WM config settings should be exactly the same. The only difference of course would be the changes to display size, color depth, misc xconfig settings.
That would involve using the local X server to run remote X clients including the window manager.

or just use ssh with X forwarding.......

I have my main workstation which I use in the normal manner. I also now have a laptop which I want to log into the main machine. I can use telnet et al, but what I want to do is log into the main machine using X. That is, I start the laptop, it starts X, and displays me a login (xdm) screen from the main workstation. The laptop just becomes an X-Server for the main workstation's applications.
This is pretty standard stuff around my office (people use Reflection or Exceed to log onto one of our AIX server boxes), but how does it work? The host clearly has to run some X daemon which the client talks to instead of starting it's own xdm session. Er, maybe!?
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Telnet to remote machine. Set the DISPLAY on the remote machine to your local box:
remotebox> export DISPLAY=localbox:0
On your local box:
localbox> xhost +remotebox
Then run an app, it should show up on your local box:
remotebox> xeyes&
