Don't do that. 'xhost +' and rlogin are security holes just waiting for
someone to crawl in. Easiest way to do the same thing, safely, would be
ssh -X remote_machine run_x_task
You need to have non-US entries in the sources.list to get ssh.

If you use xdm or equivalent, it starts the X server with '-nolisten tcp'
which prevents everyone from accessing it from the network. It doesn't
affect ssh X-forwarding, you can still use ssh like I described above.
