Very Computer

Am running AIX 4.1.5 on an old IBM 250 and am attempting to set it up to
function much like a X device.  Have added the following entries to
inittab to start X and motif on system boot;

X:2:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/X -n :0 -T -force
motif:2:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/mwm -display unix:0

Since no user actually logs on to the 250, am having difficulty bringing
up an X display on the box due to the lack of authorization for the
remote system to generate an X display on the 250.  Attempted to use
/etc/X0.hosts to set authorization, but appears to fail due to no
DISPLAY variable being set.  If I log on to the 250 manually, set the
DISPLAY variable, then run "xhost +", the X application starts up
without a problem.  Have not be able to determine a way to set the
authorization automatically at boot time.  If anyone has any ideas, I'd
appreciate the help.  Thanks

Did you try setting DISPLAY in /etc/environment?
