Re: X-11 forwarding, ssh, multiple hosts

[fiaid@quasi-sane.com]

Logically it will work:

unencrypted -> tunnel ingress -> encrypted traffic -> tunnel egress -> 
unencrypted

once it is at the other end, the other tunnel should pick it up and it 
should run through all the stages again.  Although, there is a small 
chance that you are exposing the data if someone is able to catch the 
packets in an unencrypted state.  If it works this way, I can't think 
straight right now.  Sooooo sleepy....
