xboard -ruser username -rsh ssh -fh hostname -fcp 'wine rybka.exe' -sd
/path/polyglot -scp 'polyglot hiarcs10.ini' -xponder -thinking -tc 60 -inc 10
-xbuttons -mm -sgf match.pgn

This should launch rybka on the host hostname and play it against Hiarcs using
polylgot on the current host.

remember to put the chess engines files in the user <username's> home directory
on the host <hostname> because I think after the -fh or -sh settings you can't
specify a path.

Andy
