Remote X problem (Linux to SCO Unix)

[ddm at pizzashack.org (Derek D. Martin)]

At some point hitherto, Paul Lussier hath spake thusly:
> To my knowledge neither XDM nor Exceed can do this.  Upon login,

The traditional order is: .xsession is sourced by xdm if it exists.
.xinitrc is sourced by startx, if it exists.  If neither exist, both
programs will look for a .Xclients file.

However, both xdm and startx start their sessions by running shell
scripts (startx IS a shell script), and if you can find those scripts
(they can be in /etc/X11, /usr/X11R6/blah, somewhere down /var, or
just about anywhere), then you can edit them to change what gets
sourced when and by whom.

Of course, only eeeevil sysadmins would do this...
