i've been trying to get VNC to work under Linux (heavily modified
slackware, 2.1.85) for the past 2 days..(i'm home on spring break, trying
to get some simple X programs written for college)

i've gotten Xvnc to run (set up a fonts server, then checked out the
permissions on /tmp/.X11-unix, then added the "xauth ... tcp/unix..." in
the perl script), now when i run vncserver, i get:
----
irish:~/vnc# vncserver

New 'X' desktop is irish:1

Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/X.log

----

which looks fine, abd i can connect from home and get the X thatched
screen, but whenever i try and run a program, i get "can't open display"
or the errors in the subject of this message...here's my X.log, which is a
good example....

twm: unable to open display "irish:1"
Error: Can't open display: irish:1

it loks like the server runs, but there's no permissions to connect to
it.. i tried an xhost +localhost or just an xhost+, but they all give me
"can't open display ""...what did i miss? it's a great program, and i'll
enjoy it a lot once i get it up and running...

please forward any responses to the list and to me, , cause
i'm not on it (yet, anyways).

please help, thanks,
john.c
