Re: xhost + on subneted

i have an aix5.3 machine that i need to have
xwindows, xterm,
enabled.
if i am in the same subnet as the machine, i
have no problem when i
do
export DISPLAY=pc/hostname:0.0
xhost +
then i can use the xterm;

however if i try the same export DISPLAY but
to a machine in a
different
subnet it complains about : cannot open
display.

do you know if the x11 works for the same
subnet only ?
is there any configuration change that i need
to do in order to get
xterm from
another subnet ?

you have to execute xhost +, on the x-windows server
(the machine who has the display) not on the x-windows
client.

regards,
esv.
