I have an Intel workstation (a 386-based beast, I believe) sitting on my
desk running X10.4 on (groan!) System V.
I would like to be able to create X windows on its display, from our 8800
("maxwell") running 4.3BSD (or any other host, for that matter). No big
deal, I hear you cry; use xhost. Alas, I don't have the xhost code for my
machine. I tried editing the /etc/X0.hosts file to include maxwell's name (and
when that failed, its IP address), but to no avail: xterm'ing from maxwell I
still get a
xterm: no such display server micon2:0
or
xterm: No such display server 128.2.236.158:0
although the X server _is_ running on the workstation.
(and yes, I've setenv'ed the DISPLAY on maxwell to micon2:0, the IP
address:0, and anything else I can think of)
Question: why is this happening? Has any poor soul out there with a system V
machine had this problem and solved it? Can anyone suggest any reason for
this antisocial behaviour on the part on micon2, or should I trade it in for
a Commodore 64 or steam-powered abacus? HELP!
This may or may not be a stupid question; however, I have RTFM'ed without
success, and a successful answer would make an upcoming demo MUCH happier:-)
(please mail rather than posting - I'll summarize responses to the net)
Thanks in advance

your problem's not xhost, that error message says that you do not have
permission etc. sounds more like you haven't set the DISPLAY variable
correctly. Hope that helps.
