Dear SunManagers,

Now, I still don't know if such key sequence exists or not (on HP machines it does exist, something like Ctrl-Shift-Esc), but Steve Butterfield pointed me to the right direction.

If you run X with the -once option, when you exit the X session the X server exits
smoothly, so the X login banner is not displayed anymore.
What I did was to add the -once option to the X -query <host> command in the .login of the users, an that's all.

Thanks to All.
