[NTLUG:Discuss] Remote X stopped working.

[Alton Pouncey]

I know this does not directly answer your question, but doing the 
following should accomplish the same thing:

On machine A:

% ssh -X myname at machineB

On machine B:

% xcalc

I tried what you were doing with my RHEL WS v3 and RHEL ES systems and it 
did not work either.  I then tried the above and it worked just fine.
