XWin.exe hangs on SecurityPolicy warning

[RWatkins at wiley dot com]

I am trying to get XWindows to run under Windows95 (sorry, this is a work
computer, so I have no choice), but constantly run into the same problem
each time.

I have tried using the XWin95.exe and the Shadow Framebuffer Test 9 version
of XWin.exe, and I have tried various screen resoultions, but each time the
loading of XWindows hangs on the SecurityPolicy warning. I have read enough
of the mailing list archives to know that this is a warning that can, in
most circumstances, be ignored, so I wonder what's goin on with my machine
that's different.

Something that seems odd to me but may simply be the norm is that eveythng
under /etc/X11 is a zero-length file.

Here is the list of messages I get upon trying to start XWindows:

[/usr/X11R6/bin]$ cat startxwin.sh
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin

twm

error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

At this point it just hangs. I tried waiting an inordinate amount of time for a timeout or ... (I don't know what),
but nothing ever happened. I simply have to Ctrl-c to stop it.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
