Have you configured your Xserver to listen on the network?

Do you have a firewall blocking the connection?
# /sbin/service iptables status
ssh is designed to be backwards compatible with rsh in terms of
command-line options. If the systems in the lab were to rename rsh to
something else and place a symlink there instead to the ssh executable
it should work and use ssh unbeknownst to the users. If that is an
available option it would be much more secure. Alternatively you could
place such a symlink anywhere earlier in the path, or define an alias to
do it.
