Hi all,

I would like to thank everyone that replied.  The solution is indeed simple,
and I was an idiot.  By default, OpenWindow only enables xhost for localhost.
A quick check of the startup script for our old X11R4/XView shows 'xhost +'.  
As many of you have suggested this indeed solved the problem.  The xhost 
command may also be placed in the user's .openwin-init.  Alternatively a 
host access table may be created in /etc/X*.hosts where * is the display number.

Thanks to everyone that responded.

Jack Su
