Many users have an account on my machine, but I would prefer they
didn't use my machine to run X clients remotely.  Can I use
xhost/xauth to accomplish this, without frotzing with /etc/passwd?  If
so, how?  (I've tried looking at the xhost/xauth man pages, and
mit/doc/XDMCP/xdmcp.ms, but I guess I'm a little slower than usual
today).

Incidentally, we're all running R4; some of us are using xdm, but most
aren't (in particular, I'm not).
