Quite right. My connection setup looks like this:
(Home PC) <--ssh--> (Internet) <--ssh--> (Work Firewall) <--ssh--> (Linux
PC) <--rlogin--> (Solaris)
So, the rlogin connection, which is behind my firewall, is unencrypted, but
that should be OK. All trafic to and from my Home PC goes via ssh from/to
the LInux PC. X forwarding to/from the Linux PC works fine. My problem is
that I have as of yet been unable to get the Solaris machine to forward
it's X through.
My thought was that I would have to forward the Solaris X to the Linux X
which would then get forwarded to my Home PC over ssh, thereby maintaining
an encrypted transmission.
Still have not found the answer yet :)
