Larry, The reason is probably security. You should use an encrypted link ( X does support them ) between the remote computer and the login computer. But for a simple home network behind a firewall, this is unnecessary. Security considerations are the reason that remote logins are disabled by default and why it is necessary to modify the Xaccess files.
