Once that's done, use Exceed to start an xdmcp session to the Linux box.
The Linux machine should see the start request and put up the GUI login
on your Exceed screen.
-------------------------------------------------
I'm not excuting /usr/bin/xterm in a manner that prompts me for the
Linux GUI login.  I'm using Exceed, and xstart to run a rexec against
the server using the command /usr/bin/xterm -display @d.  Exceed prompts
me for my username and password.

I got the logon banner to work on the regular gdm/xdm GUI, but since
this just pops up an xterm I don't see the banner.
