Set the DISPLAY environment variable to 'domainname:localxserver'
(localxserver is probably 0.0). Or just use ssh, which'll automatically
forward the X11 connection to your own server (and encrypt it too!)

As for working from the CAPCs... I've given a little bit of
thought to fips'ing their hard drives and putting rogue linux
installations on the newly spare partition, thereby not having to deal
with buying or stealing xceed, or settling for MI/X. I mean, Linux gets
into the enterprise when the technical people install it without letting
their superiors know about it, right? :)

One more random question on the issue - when I try to connect to
the Zoo via XDMCP query (command line 'xinit -- -query
rhino.cs.yale.edu'), I repeatedly get the message

AUDIT: Mon Apr 5 20:28:32 1999: 12761 Xwrapper: client 9 rejected from
local host
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
..

dumped to my console and the connection dies within a few minutes. (Same
if I use startx instead of xinit.) Anyone know what I'm doing wrong and
how I could prevent that from happening?
