	I've done this without troubles on Redhat, using the basic following 
procedure:

	on host side, enter:

	xhost +client_sys_name

	on client side, enter:

	export DISPLAY="host_sys_name:0.0"


	then run the app.  I've been unable to get this to run at all on SUSE 9.1 
with the latest kernel update(linux-2.6.5-7.95) as the host machine and a 
Redhat 7.3 machine as client.  That same Redhat machine works fine with other 
Redhat machines.  The results I get are typically:

Error: Can't open display: host_sys_name:0.0

I've run through the Yast security settings - the only thing that seems 
vaguely related is "Allow Graphical Login", although I doubt that's involved 
I ticked it and restarted X.  Still no go.  I'm not running a firewall, I 
unfortunately need to run an app as root but I can't even get xeyes to run as 
myself, so small steps first.  I'm suspecting it's a security issue, as 
opposed to any sort of incompatibility.

	Any thoughts or suggestions?  I need it to work this way(not looking for vnc 
solutions), and it should, shouldn't it?

	Cheers,

	J.C.
