In the SSH case, no.  Only one has X installed.  In the second case
(below) I'm doing it on a local machine with X.  Using SSH I get a text
prompt, GUI on local.  I'll see what I can do about sneaking a laptop out
of work tonight, that way I can try it on two machines w/X.

If I had to guess I would say somethin gin system-auth or authconfig, but
I'm not sure.  Again, when I get home I will check these files out and see
if I can see anything about them.
