Jeremy,
Thanks for the reply. I had never used xauth before, but based on your
email and one from Merle Reinhart I read the manpage on xauth,
generated an .Xauthority entry on my MacBook, and merged the entry
into the .Xauthority files in the home directory on my two Solaris
boxes. Things are working great for me now.

This X11 environment seems rather fragile. I finally managed to get
X11 windows from my Solaris box to display back to my Leopard
MacBook by using ssh instead of telnet. Then I made the mistake of
trying to telnet from my MacBook to Solaris, and manually setting
DISPLAY to localhost:10.0.
When I accessed xclock It failed with the error:
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server
shutdown).
This is failing because you don't have your xauth set to allow this.
which didn't bother me too much, I really didn't have very high
hopes that it would work.
But now I can no longer display back from my Solaris box to my
MacBook, even using ssh. I get the error
$ xclock
/tmp/launch-TvW8ES/: unknown host. (nodename nor servname provided,
or not known)
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server
shutdown).
Uh, is this from your solaris box? I think you somehow set DISPLAY
on it to the launchd socket on your mac... which shouldn't work.
Just use ssh instead of telnet. There is no reason to use telnet
for what you're trying to do.
And on a side note, tcp/ip connection is allowed, but you must
enable it in X11's preferences, and you need to do 'xhost + <ip
address to allow to connect>' locally first. you should also check
what the display is via 'ps x | grep X'. Look for something like ':
0' or ':1'.
