When I 'xhost' while ssh'ed into the troublesome sshd-machine, I get the exact same error; it cannot get a socket to X. Now, I mentioned trying this before and finally got to it. I logged onto the troubled machine at its console, started X, and then ssh'ed back in. In the ssh session, I tried an xterm and guess what... got the same error message. 'localhost' was definately on the xhost list (I checked in a non-ssh xterm). I should add that X otherwise behaves fine when sitting at this machine. The ugly startup window for xlock reminded me that this is one difference from other machines, but I do not see how xlock would effect things. Still puzzling over this. -- Crist J.
