It would be much better if you could use ssh instead of rlogin. Not only
is the protocol much more secure, it supports tunnelling of X without
you having to mess about with setting $DISPLAY, running xhost etc.
gugen049{Z.Yang}% ssh -X gzserver -l yzz
gzserver{Z.Yang}% /usr/lib/lprgs/zy/get.sol
If you really have to use rlogin, you'll probably need to configure X on
gugen049 so that it listens for TCP connections over the network, which
I don't think it does by default.
