This I would do differently. The problem with this is that when X gets
terminated (for instance when a user hits <ctrl><alt><bs>) you end up with
no X login. I have a line in /etc/ttys starting X. This wil restart X on
termination. The line would look with the example values like:
ttyC5 "/usr/X11R6/bin/X -indirect 127.0.0.1 -from 192.168.45.21 vt05 :0" xterm
on
My actual line looks as follows:
ttyC8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg -indirect xdmcp -from alf vt09" xterm on
my C5 has a getty (I have more than the standard number of vt's)
xdmcp is a local host that allows indirect from *
alf is the name of the machine running X.
X is a symlink to Xorg so that is the same
:0 is default and can be left out

This uses cookies fine.
