setting X windows display back?

Hi everyone,
I have a box running fedora core 2. I cannot set the display back to this box when I'm on another machine. Here is what
I type:

berry:/home/paula: xhost +
then I open up a terminal and ssh to another machine. When I get to the other machine, I type,
straws:/home/paula: setenv DISPLAY berry:0.0
permission denied

and it does not work. There is no selinux or firewalls up, so it isn't a security issue. Does someone
know something about this? I don't have this trouble on any of my other boxes.
Many thanks,
Paula
