I'm hoping to set up a remote login server with X11 forwarding. I had

For this, I would recommend using "ssh -X" to get to the server from
the
computer that's running the X server. This will give you a secure X
session
on that server. Because the X session is being forwarded over the
secure
shell connection, you don't have to deal with "X11 security." I put
that in
quotes because existing X11 protocol implementations unfortunately
don't have
much in the way of security. :'}
Oh, how I wish it were that simple! Observe:
