[comp.unix.admin] How Do You Run X terminals?

Help!

I have a Sun 4/110 running Sun OS 4.0.3 and X11R4 and a 386PC running DOS
plus TCP/IP and a X-server called Term-X from XINETRON.  These two machines 
on a Ethernet.  FTP and telnet both worked fine, but I can not get the
X login screen on my 386PC.  The Term-X show a screen with a operating
(movable) X cursor that's all. I assume that the Term-X works.  Please
advice me how to configure the Sun to run XDM for the Term-X on PC.

	This is what I have done so far:

	Go into /usr/lib/X11/xdm
	Edit the file Xservers by adding:
		myPC:0.0 foreign
	Edit /etc/hosts and add the line
		192.68.217.20 myPC
	Run (as root):
		xdm -server "myPC:0 386PC foreign /usr/bin/X11/twm"
	By the way, I also xhost myPC.
