+See the Security section above.

+! Using SSH
+You can use X11 apps remotely with:
+<pre>
+ ssh -Y ''machinename'' xterm
+<pre>
+will login to ''machinename'' and run the program "xterm" which will display locally. For this to work you need the <tt>xauth</tt> program installed on the server. SSH will encrypt the X11 session and setup <tt>$DISPLAY</tt> properly.
+
+! Using $DISPLAY
+You can run a program as:
+<pre>
+ export DISPLAY=''displaymachinename'':0
+ xterm
+</pre>
+
+This will make "xterm" run on the local machine but to display it's output on ''displaymachine'' (display 0). You may need to run:
+<pre>
+ xhost +''appmachine''
+</pre>
+to allow appmachine permission to use your display.
+
+! Using XDMCP
+You can configure gdm(8) to announce itself onto the local network, and when you run X run it with "-query" to make it query the local network. ''(This section needs to be filled out)''
