[svlug] configuring X to accept external connections

[chris case]

Michael,

Thanks for the help.  I noticed, however, that no port was open for the 
X server.  Unless I am mistaken about the ports listed:

22/tcp  open  ssh
25/tcp  open  smtp
111/tcp open  rpcbind
631/tcp open  ipp

When I ran the oemapp console i got the following error:

Exiting
java.lang.NullPointerException

        at oracle.sysman.vtx.vtxOemApp.OemApp.main(OemApp.java:80)

I'll do some more tinkering around with it and see what can be done.
