this is probably in a FAQ somewhere -- "how"? i can create ssh connections between node A and node B but... how can i use that to piggyback an X session or a HTTP request? -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #49 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Looking to ENCODE OR DECODE SOME ROT-13 TEXT? No problem. "Vg'f rnfl jvgu Ivz." It's a simple alphabet substitution where each letter changes to its counterpart 13 places away in the alphabet (a<->n, g<->t, etc) . Open the text in Vim, then select it (type "v" at one end of the text to encode/decode, then move to the other end) and then type "g?". Or, to rot-13 a whole line, just "g??". That's all! (Try ":help g?" for more info.) Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ...
