[TriLUG] How do I connect to a remote X client?

[Ryan Leathers]

Let me add one more thing...

I can open a virtual console, log in, and type something like
X :2 -indirect 123.123.123.123 and get a chooser.  I know this gets me
from point A to point B, but it won't do when it comes time to script
this.  How can I get to point B in a script?

Thanks,

Ryan
