I have xhost lines in my xinitrc to allow remote X programs for a handful of machines, but since upgrading 4.0->4.2 those machines can't display on the server. I checked the xhost commands, and the hostnames are correct. I tried using the IP address instead with no success. The workstation can ping the laptop, so it isn't a network problem. It all comes down to the laptop not allowing X clients that xhost says it should. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Alternatively, does anyone have any suggestions on diagnostics to figure out what's going wrong? -- Steve Tremblett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
