ssh -X shop problem...



Greetings;

Tonight I thought I'd play with emc2 a bit, but since updateing this
machine to FC6, somethings gone fubar in the X11 forwarding. Here is
whats been executed to get to the failure:

---------
[root@coyote amanda]# xhost +192.168.71.4
192.168.71.4 being added to access control list
[root@coyote amanda]# su gene
[gene@coyote amanda]$ ssh -X shop
gene@shop's password:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
Linux shop 2.6.15-magma #1 Fri Jun 9 20:51:19 EEST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
Welcome to the Shop @ the Coyote's Den

Last login: Sun Nov 26 22:52:45 2006 from coyote.coyote.den
gene@shop:~$ cd emc2.head/
gene@shop:~/emc2.head$ scripts/emc
EMC2 - pre-2.1 CVS HEAD
Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
Application initialization failed: couldn't connect to
display "localhost:10.0"
------------

Obviously I can't do this xhost thingy as a common user:
----------
[gene@coyote amanda]$ xhost +192.168.71.4
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

xhost: unable to open display ":0"
-----------
X was started by root, as usual.

Where did I mess up? Where is this access control list being maintained
and is it editable by mortals? Or where is this magic cookie key?, and
how do I refresh it to valid status?

This exact procedure worked just fine when I was running FC2 (with
xorg-6.8.1-901 hand built on this box.)
