Hello,

I am using fedora core 3 and am having a problem with X11 forwarding.

When I telnet from my fedora box to a solaris box and then try to run an
x app on the solaris box, I get an error message saying 'can't export
display'. 

However, when I ssh -X from my fedora box to another linux box and then
try to run an x app on the other linux box, the x app works fine.

I have made sure I had xhost + solarisbox on my fedora box, and also
that selinux was disabled.
I have also tried to export DISPLAY=linuxbox:0.0 using the linuxbox
hostname and IP address.

Any help would be appreciates, thanks.
