I spoke too soon..... The following worked for my 9.1 box but did not work for my 9.2 box. On the latter I also tried to removed the -nolisten tcp flag in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file for display 0 but that didn't work either. Any other ideas? Thanks, Joe Bernd Paysan wrote:

I have 2 Opteron machines. Both were running Suse 9.0 amd64. I upgraded one to Suse 9.1 and the other to Suse 9.2. Now I cannot open X applications remotely when using rlogin. I get the "cannot connect to X server" even after using xhost + and setting the DISPLAY env variable on the remote machine. I am aware that ssh -X is preferable - and that does seem to work between my Suse boxes - but not all machines are configured properly as ssh servers. We are behind a firewall here, and we also have some machines on private lans, so if there is a way around this I would like to know.
Open the /etc/sysconfig-Editor in yast2, and choose
Desktop -> Display manager -> DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN
Set this to yes.
