Dear Mr. Questions: 
   Well, I have waited a day and no one on either news group 
(maybe I should not have mentioned the crosspost :-).  I hope 
someone can dredge up some kind of answer for this, at least 
some place to look!  Is the default security now set so tight 
the X11 transport cannot get through?  If so, how do I change 
it?  I get the _X11Trans... message six times - are there six 
transport types it is trying?  Where is that set?  
   Just as an afterthought, not related to the X transport, 
issue, my installation from the FreeBSD Mall diskset did not 
put anything in /usr/lib/compat except the aout subdirectory - 
I had to steal the shareables from and adjacent 4.2 machine 
and the bootconfig from the installation does not write a 
/boot/kernel.conf file when I say [S]ave. 
   Thanks, 
    \DaveW

  I have just installed FreeBSD 4.6 (up from 4.2).  My scripts 
which used to reliably produce an xterm on this machine from 
various other *nix hosts (FreeBSD, Solaris, IRIX, Linux) now get 

_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61

even though I have run the xhost command for each of these remote 
stations on my 4.6 box.  

   I have scanned the FreeBSD release notes for 4.3 - 4.6 and there 
is no mention of a change in X-connection security policy, defaults, 
...  

   My real problem is that I am having the dickens of a time 
finding what configuration item(s) (besides xhost itself) control 
this service and what has turned it off.  The stations are 
connected only by Ethernet LAN, so TCP (or UDP) would be the 
transport mechanism, and the X11 entry is in /etc/services, 
but where is the block coming from? 
   Sorry about the cross-posting, but I my wits are worn out 
on this one, and I cannot seem to get a handle on it through 
man pages, install docs or anywhere else. 
   Thanks in advance, 
    \DaveW
