Not really, my machine is on the net, but I have
telnet disabled, and use ssh to open root xterms.

That, I did not know. I was confused thinking that
Xclients would comunicate with the sshd through the
arbitrary port ssh creates, but now I understand that
Xclients are not ssh enabled and need to be fooled by
using a X proxy on a different display number.
When I make a ssh connection to the localhost, I get a
definition like "DISPLAY=fulgore:12.0", which is ok,
but for some reason, if I run an Xclient like xterm,
it hangs there without doing nothing, even if I run
"xhosts +"; and if I press ctrl-c, it takes about a
minute to exit. What is wrong?
