[SuSE Linux] startx and terminals

Hi, again

I have this question/problem:
Suppose that I am sitting at my machine running SuSE 5.2 and lets say
playing Quake. Somebody telnets to it from a different machine and types
"startx" at his command line. To my surprise the X server starts at my
console.
Is there a way to stop that?
Moreover, if I telnet my machine and type "quake" from the telnet session
window, this starts quake on the main terminal window in the svga mode.
Does that have something to do with my "specific" setup or permissions?

Any pointers are appreciated,

alexm
