[ale] remote X problems.

[Dow Hurst]

You will have to make sure that O has permission to display on T since 
ssh will setup the xauth between P and O but not anything between T and 
O.  Got that? ;-)

xauth is the user level authentication technique for X on most Linux 
distros as set by default.  An older less secure implementation that is 
host level is xhost.

SSH will manage xauth requirements transparently for you.  Why don't you 
SSH directly from T to O?  That would solve your problem.  Otherwise you 
will need to do the xauth management yourself.  Read the xauth manpage 
for the nextract and nmerge commands.  What you get nextract out of O's 
Xserver will be nmerged into T's Xserver.
