Try trimming out some of your options on the command line. Here is the 
command line I issue for a simple xterm window (also sets the $DISPLAY 
variable and gives the window a title): /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -display @d -T 
"Crash.mrdoug.com"

You will want to check two things. 1) check the keyboard emulation of 
exceed. I use us.kbf with my 104 (keyboard with the windows keys) key 
keyboard. Next check the termcap definitions on the linux host you are 
connecting to. I know that these two areas define how keys are used 
however I am not sure as to what settings would directly effect your 
problem. I have similar problems with linux hosts (but not with SUN and AIX) 
so I'm sure that it's somewhere in the termcap file (located in /etc I'm sure).

This problem is due to a setting on the host, stating that UID's less than 
100 (root = UID 0) cannot login remotely. I am not sure where that setting 
is, but this is a security feature that is implemented by default with most 
linux distros...
