I meant not xhost but the 'startxt' method where
you start X server -ac and the wm is started
at the remote computer.  cjb wm's don't seem happy
with some things though (including my libX11).

First I started x (complete with wm and rxvt).
Does the xhost method let you run X programs on another computer
but first you start the window manager on your computer?

When I type ls at sdf I get a list on the terminal where I
am connected to sdf (with dbclient), not on my rxvt here.
No additional xterm appears on my X.  Every time I switch
terminals I see another [11^ added to my rxvt.

When I type cd /usr/pkg/ on my rxvt there is no such directory.
It is definetly not an sdf xterm.

How do I "on sdf xterm do"?

What step did I miss or do wrong?

You can compile or otherwise add programs at sdf.
