   xhost not working under TigerVNC   
   21 Oct 22 23:37:13   
   
   From: noemail@please.net   
      
   	I have a Slackware 15.0 host A running a TigerVNC session on   
   display 1. I can connect to that session from another Slackware 15.0   
   system with vncviewer tunneled within an sshSSH channel. I can also ssh   
   into B from a terminal emulator in A.   
      
   	What I would like to do is the following:   
      
   	1. In the TigerVNC session in A launch a terminal emulator and   
   ssh from it into B.   
      
   	2. At the ssh session in B created above send some graphical   
   output to the TigerVNC session in A.   
      
   	Step two does not work - I keep getting 'Can't open display: A:   
   1.0'.   
      
   	I thought that the way to do pull this off consisted of executing   
   the following commands in a terminal emulator in the TigerVNC session in   
   A:   
      
   	$ export DISPLAY=A:1.0   
   	$ xhost +B   
      
   The thing is, this makes no difference.   
      
   	I know for a fact that this works when the session in A is not a   
   TigerVNC one, but one run directly on a display physically attached to   
   the hardware where this all is running. Which makes me think that the   
   TigerVNC server is launched by default in such a way that what I am   
   trying to do is implicitly banned.   
      
   	Any idea on how to solve this?
