I've set the display using the -d (-D?) option of the xterm command. I
think my problem is the actual login. I am using the out-of-the-box
security on 8.0 and I am getting the error message:
Unable to connect using selected start method.
The "method" used is REXEC. I guess it's trying to log me in before
starting up a login xterm. I wonder if I have to set up anything in
/etc/hosts/allow or .deny?
