Hi sun / X experts:

I've just upgraded our SUN SPARCs to OS 4.1.1.  When I run
openwindow, I can not have X-clients display in OpenWindow.
I've tried this with other suns running openwindow, X11R4 on HP 9000,
and X11R4 on a Cray.  There must be something SIMPLE that I stupidly am
forgetting.  I keep getting the following message>

Xlib:  connection to "sara.atmos.uiuc.edu:0.0" refused by server
Xlib:  Client is not authorized to connect to server


I've tried starting openwindow without authorization (-noauth).
I've tried starting openwindow with -defeateventsecurity.
I've tried using xauth to extract and merge .Xauthority file.

Nothing.  The same message.

I would appreciate any help/suggestions/comments from ANYONE.

(BTW these client programs worked before using OS 4.1 and X11R4 with
Xview).
