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.
