to login from your box at home use this format assuming your cs
username is joeblow and the machine you are trying to login to is
tupi.cs.utexas.edu
ssh -l joeblow tupi.cs.utexas.edu
the very first time you do this it will prompt you with
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
when you choose yes it will add the host to your ssh list and in
future you wont get any more prompts. after that u can run any x-app off
school and it will show up at your box. you dont need to set the display
or anything else, the line above is all you need.

If you are a cs major dont use .rhost the cs department doesnt like
it. I've had mail from them asking me to discontinue using .rhost
