Don't know what kind of network you're on, but the rsh command in the "cyborg" example looks as if you're passing the root password accross the network in plain text: >>>> rsh -l root 192.168.100.10 "xterm -display 192.168.100.25:0.0 -title >>>> Exit -e nohup /root/xcyborg > start.log &" might want to see if you can use ssh instead of rsh.... VNC (http://www.realvnc.com) encrypts the initial password exchange between client and server, and if you want to encrypt all traffic over a vnc connection - you can use SSH and port reditection on the client end.
