I am getting an error that makes me assume that I have some kind of X
permission wrong.

I edited the following files:
/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config
/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf


Is there something else I must do?

If I ssh to the remote machine: ssh -X -l username ipaddress
The current message I am getting is:

"PAM authentication has failed cannot start the X server.  Perhaps you
do
not have console ownership. . . . . . "

Thanks to all who have been willing to help me.
