Ok, if it's msec, then it's extremely inconsistent. I just checked my home box. It was built from the same CDs as the one I just built today at work.
Both systems were built from the same CDs. Both systems are running msec level 2 X works normally on one (I can log into a remote machine, and export the display back to the workstation, and it works fine). X does not work normally on the one at work. If I telnet to another box, and export the display back, it is refused. Further, if I drop to a VC, and try to X -query to another box, X is refused. It acts like a security issue. But if msec is behind it, it's not causing the same behaviour on a nearly identical box at home. So... It's something else? This is frustrating!
