Here's a novice X question:

  whenever I try to start a client on a remote machine (e.g.
my server is running on one sun, I rlogin to another and try
to run emacs or xclock or xeyes), I get an error message of 
the form:

   Server is not authorized to connect to host

my DISPLAY is set correctly.  I suspect that some system-ish
protection or something is wrong (maybe with xterm?  I dunno).  
Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks

Try the command "xhost +[hostname]" to temporarily give another machine 
access to your display (until you stop that particular X session). For 
more permanent permission, add the hostname to your /etc/X0.hosts file.
