Hi Colin, Ismael,

  thanks very much for the help ... I can see progress now.

Yeah, the settings of the DISPLAY variable works fine now.

rock:~# xterm
Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root 
user.
The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted
in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the
program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable.
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s
rock:~#

But the login still doesn't work. Somehow the xserver on black is rejecting my 
requests.

AUDIT: Sat Sep  6 18:35:04 2003: 304 X: client 23 rejected from local host
  Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1

Right.  Changed that and it's all working fine now. Thanx again.
