Actually, xhost +  is quick and easy and since all the machines are 
trusted and on a LAN behind a firewall there should be no security 
problem.  Running four machines on a distributed flight simulation and 
getting tired of jumping up to get to the other machines. Idea is to run 
everything from code editing, compiling, and testing from a single station.

I do appreciate all the responses and the solid advice on how to use ssh 
when working with a remote machine over the Internet.

We demo'd the simulation a month ago at the SCALE3x show here in LA     
    http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale3x_day1.php

As far as I can tell, this may be one of the few cockpit simulations 
using Linux as the platform rather than all that MS stuff...
