Rlogin still not working yet, but will get it another day. I need to run a X-server to an application on the LINUX box, but every time I login and start X, I get Fatal server error: PAM authentication failed, cannot start X server. Perhaps you do not have console ownership? what did I do wrong during the rpm install that is not allowing me to start X-server from a remote system?
