The other question I would have is do you have the Mac's Firewall on
and running? I would immediately turn it off if you are secure in
knowing what traffic is on your network.

Subject: Need Help Beating X11 Into Submission
I have a new Mac mini I'm trying to use purely as an X-server, but I am
finding it extremely frustrating. On first unpacking the system, it booted
up and configured itself flawlessly. I installed X11, and started it, typed
"xhost +" and was then able to start X applications (in particular KDE
Desktop) from our Linux farm with no problems. After a while, I exited
X11, and repeated the same steps, but with no luck. X11 starts and works
just fine, the xterm comes up and works just fine. "xhost +" indicates it
will accept connections from any client, but the Linux farm refuses to
acknowledge there is an X-server present. I have since configured X11 as a
Startup item, so it comes up on boot-up. If I keep rebooting over and over,
eventually, everything will work again, but as soon as I shutdown X11, it
goes back to not working for some random long, usually long, period of
time. In all cases, whether the Linux farm acknowledges the presence of the
X-server or not, I can always ssh into the farm and launch X-applications
that display on the Mac using X-11 forwarding.
Any ideas what's going on? I'm about at the end of my rope with this
thing.
Thanks!

Ray L.
