.bash_profile and TCP/IP



Happy Holidays,

I have a 2 part question and as always I'd appreciate any and all
information!

1:	In my .bash_profile I would like to initiate X everytime I login
	at the console but not when logging in remotely.  I experience 2 
	problems.

	1.  When I merely enter "startx" in .bash_profile I receive a
	    short delay, then all my usual X stuff but with an error
	    appearing in every xterm.

	X: you are not authorised to run X server!

	2.  Secondly, I wish to start the Xserver only when at my computer
	    so I tried to enter this into my .bash_profile and I can't get
	    it to work.  What is wrong with it?

	if [ "$TERM" = "console" ]; then
		"startx -- -bpp 16"
	fi

2:	I am also requesting suggestions for a study guide/brain candy
	type book on TCP/IP networking.  If any of the Linux/*nix gurus or
	senior system administrators would make a suggestion I'd appreciate
	it.

Thanks in advance,

Ian
