Det er noget med permissions på connections:
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers 
You need to decide if you want X to run on the server automatically. 
If you want the graphical login screen on the console when you boot the
system, then you don't have to worry about modifying the Xservers file. If you
don't want X to startup automatically on the console, then you will need to
comment out the line in the Xservers file that controls that. 

The file to edit is /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. Look for the line that shows: 

    :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X 

If you comment the line out by inserting a '#' character at the beginning 
of the line, that will prevent xdm from bringing up X on the console. 

If you want to run X after the server has booted, you can run startx at the 
command line. 

/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess 

This file controls whether a remote workstation can communication with the 
xdm program on the server. By default, Redhat 6.0 had remote access enabled,
but Redhat 6.1 has remote access disabled. 

To enable remote access, edit the file, and look at line 40. There should be a 
line that looks like the following: 

    # *                                     #any host can get a login window

You can enable remote workstation access by removing the hash sign '#' 
from the beginning of the line, then save the file.
