You can use SSH v2 with your version of OpenSSH.  You can force ssh  
v2 by using the -2 command switch, or setting "Protocol 2" for that  
host in your ~/.ssh/config.

You are definitely going to like the ssh X forwarding.  All you have  
to do is use the -X switch, and it will automatically set up a secure  
tunnel between the remote system and the local system, it will set  
the $DISPLAY to use the tunnel, and it will forward all X connections  
to your local system.

Stop using xhost today!
