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
