+Note that in most environments script kiddies have generated sniffer
+scripts that will easily grab passwords on a network. By default,

+Unless you are confident of your network, direct use of IPv6 (or, for
+that matter, IPv4) over the network to your X server is not
+recommended; instead, we recommend the use of ssh ("ssh -X -C") to
+provide strong cryptography (and possibly compression) for network
+transparent use of X.  Work is beginning to address this with a more
+fully integrated encryption scheme that would avoid the extra process
+context switches and improve performance over ssh (how much is
+unknown).
