Tru64 to Mac via X11

Hi Managers

I have users running X11 applications from the Tru64 server on a variety of
Macs and PCs. All are logging in using either ssh (on the Macs) or rexec
via Hummingbird (on the PCs). Now on one Mac (a fairly new OS X imac) they
have stopped working. Several different users all have the same problem
when using that machine, so I don't think the problem is with the user
profiles. The error message is:

Xlib: connection to "<my Mac>:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using '<my
Mac>:0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

When I try xhost, I get virtually the same error:

Xlib: connection to "<my mac>:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

/usr/bin/X11/xhost: unable to open display "<my mac>:0.0"

 From the env, I get

XLIB=-lX11
XMLIB=-lXm
XTLIBS=-lXt -lX11

DISPLAY=<my mac>:0

so I can't see anything wrong....

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers
Derek
