Who uses rlogin?

Everybody uses ssh nowadays. ssh has X11-forwarding built-in (if it was
not disabled - it is a potential security hole if you don't fully trust
the remote server: the remote server has all the information in needs to
open new X11 clients on your display)

So you can simply use 'ssh otheruser@localhost'. if otheruser is root,
then you may need to PermitRootLogin .
