I'm running standard R3 on a Sun 3/60 (OS 4.0.1) and "xhost +" to
allow all known hosts access. I then rlogin to another machine
on our network (either a 386i (4.0.1) or another 3/60) and set
DISPLAY to point back to the server. 

When I try and run a standard demos, maze, for example, everthing works
fine. I can also run a simple hello world application that I
wrote and that works fine. 

When I try and run a more sophisticated application that used
the following libraries (X, Xt, Xaw, and Xmu) I'm unable to
connect to the display. By using dbx I've found that the XOpenDisplay
call is failing in a call to "socket" which in turn calls "connect".
The first call to "socket" in "gethostid" succeeds.

When I run this application on the same machine as the server everything
works fine.

Any suggesstions, comments? Thanks in advance.
