[comp.windows.x] R3 clients failing to connect

    I *can't* run the R3 version of xrn for some reason...
    (I get a 'Client is not authorized to connect to Server' error).

That's probably because you're running under xdm (good for you!) and are
using MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE access control to the R4 server, rather than the
weaker host-based access control.  You can run R3 clients by simply
doing "xhost <yourhost>".
