Easiest way around this is to do a xhost + # disables X authentication completely or xhost +host.connecting.from Note: You run this command on the machine you want the X session to display ON, not the machine where you are running the client. BUT, if you need this machine to be secure, this is probably NOT what you want. In that case, take a look at man xauth It's much more complicated than xhost (and much more complicated than it needs to be, if you ask me...) but it's also a whole lot more secure. I never use it, because I'm too damn lazy, and because I now use ssh which does an end run around the whole issue by taking care of the xauth stuff for you. :) And, BTW, ssh ROCKS! see http://www.openssh.com/ -- "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
