I just upgraded my laptop to RH7.1 (KRUD Aug 2001) under Ximian's GNOME and
XFree86 4.0.3.  Everything works pretty well.  One thing that doesn't is
that I don't seem to be able to run an xterm on a remote machine for
display on my laptop (or any X application for that matter).  I keep
getting "X11socket..." errors.  

Yes, I already added the remote host to my access list with xhost.  This
looks like a Xauthority issue but prior to this upgrade nothing more than a
simple xhost command was required.  Did XFree86 4.0.x add something new?

Anyone know what else needs to be configured here?
