So, I wonder if 10.50.3.60 truly is the address of your Linux
box - and I wonder whether the xhost command really worked.

Is there any internet address mangling going on anywhere here I wonder?

Perhaps one of these machines has multiple ethernet adaptors and is using
the wrong one and hence making the request using a different network address
than the one you gave 'xhost' permission to?

Running xhost with no parameters lists the currently allowed hosts.  You might
also try (just as an experiment) 'xhost +' with no host name - which gives
permission to all comers (which is somewhat dangerous - but OK as a test - just
to be *sure* you've given permission to the SGI machine).
