The problem is likley that a current default RH setup is more secure
than the setup you used with Irix. Specifically the firewall and/or X
server settings are preventing remote connections to the X server.

Check the firewall settings, and try adding this to
/etc/X11/xdm/GiveConsole:

  xhost +sysadminbox
