Hi,


I have an ULTRA 1 with Solaris 2.8, and a x86 with Debian Linux. They
connected with ethernet. I wnat to use my debian box (as a workstation)
to display programs running on the ULTRA. I issued the xhost + command
at my debian X server, and the X clients from my ULTRA can not connect
to my debian system (acces denied). The DISPLAY variable is set
correctly, like export DISPLAY=debianip:0.0

What I'm missing?

Many Linux distros these days ship with "-nolisten tcp" in their X
server command line options to prevent remote access. (And if those
machines are connected to the internet, be thankful they did this when
you did "xhost +".) Check with ps on the Linux box to see if you can
see the flags the X server was started with, or netstat -an to see if
it's listening on port 6000.

Wouldn't that result in a "Connection refused" error rather than "Access
denied"?

The error he's getting makes me think that xauth may be enabled on the
server.
