Can you login from your linux into your linux box with ssh and run
xlock ?
$[LXBOX] ssh -Y LXBOX
${LXBOX} echo $DISPLAY
${LXBOX} xclock

Works like a charm...

Now do the same without the -Y thus ssh should behave like rsh

$[LXBOX] ssh LXBOX
${LXBOX} echo $DISPLAY
${LXBOX} xclock

If it is not working get it to work - its linux
If it is working then login to your AIX box also without the -Y or any
other option
$[LXBOX] ssh AIXBOX
$[AIXBOX] echo $DISPLAY
$[AIXBOX] xclock

If that is not working the probably the problem is on the linux site.
Check your linux documentation howto enable remote display and check
as alreay mentioned by others the name resolution meaning that each
host should be in the /etc/hosts within the other host and they can
ping each other.
