    Hi Managers

    I have users running X11 applications from the Tru64 server on a variety of
    Macs and PCs. All are logging in using either ssh (on the Macs) or rexec
    via Hummingbird (on the PCs). Now on one Mac (a fairly new OS X imac) they
    have stopped working. Several different users all have the same problem
    when using that machine, so I don't think the problem is with the user
    profiles. The error message is:

    Xlib: connection to "<my Mac>:0.0" refused by server
    Xlib: No protocol specified

    java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using '<my
    Mac>:0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

    When I try xhost, I get virtually the same error:

    Xlib: connection to "<my mac>:0.0" refused by server
    Xlib: No protocol specified

    /usr/bin/X11/xhost: unable to open display "<my mac>:0.0"

     From the env, I get

    XLIB=-lX11
    XMLIB=-lXm
    XTLIBS=-lXt -lX11

    DISPLAY=<my mac>:0

    so I can't see anything wrong....

    Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Cheers
    Derek
