Re: Remote sessions
I tried everyone's suggestions but none of them works. Telnet doesn't work and
ssh -X didn't work, either. The error message was:

access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
INET: host2.domain.suffix
I thought there was a file somewhere that stored which machines were allowed
to access the X server. I am also running KDM if that means anything.
