X oddities of the day. I am running WBEL on my desktop at work, Mark is running Fedora Core 1, and we've both seen a most interesting problem. We were both trying to receive X session from other machines via the old "xhost +" method yet it simply does not work on either WBEL or Fedora if WBEL or FC1 is the machine receiving the X session (i.e. the sending machine says "can't connect... etc" and the X that was sent never appears). The IP addresses were set correctly from the machine sending the X sessions but it appears that xhost isn't listening, or something like that.
I was more-or-less able to verify this by booting my WBEL box in Knoppix then issuing the xhost + command from Knoppix. Without making any configuration changes to the source machine I was able to receive an X session.
It should be noted, however, that I was able to push X stuff, in this case xclock, to another desktop (RH 8.0 in this case) so sending X across a network seems to be okay, it's just receiving X that seems to be broken.
