Environment:	diskless Sun 2/120, Sun UNIX 3.0
		Xv10r4 distribution from zap.mit.edu + updates of Dec 24

environment variable DISPLAY=ford:0 (local host) 

In X/Makefile, NETOPTIONS= -DTCPCONN -DDUALTCP -DUNIXCONN

Upon invoking xinit from csh as root, the cursor comes alive
(Sun-style arrow, not X-style X) until I am given the message `fatal
error: ?  at No Listeners', then a complaint from xterm not being able
to find the display server unix:0.

If I invoke xinit from csh as a non-root mortal, I am told `fatal
error: Permission denied at No Listeners', and then xterm complains.

If I invoke `Xsun /dev/fb 0' I get the same fatal error in each case,
but I don't hear from xterm.

This is obviously a simple configuration problem, but as we're just
starting out with X, it has me pretty well befuddled.  Any
suggestions?  Thanks very much for the help.
