    I'm having a problem displaying X apps on a remote host. I've done this
    plenty of times before but for some reason I can't get it today, I must be
    forgetting something. On the remote host, I ran "xhost +" to allow
    everyone access to the X server over the network. On the host I want to
    run the X apps from, I ran "export DISPLAY=remotehostname:0.0". When I
    try to start an X client, I get an error about not being able to open the
    display. Neither server has iptables running.

    root@remotehost:~> xhost +
    access control disabled, clients can connect from any host

    root@tux root# export DISPLAY=192.168.1.61:0.0
    root@tux root# xeyes
    Error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.61:0.0
