Xlib display refused

Warner Wong — Wed, 20 Oct 2004 09:57:50 GMT

I obtained a new 2nd handed HP 712 workstation & was attempting to display a software graphical application via the line below:

export DISPLAY=192.168.10.72:0.0

The response was:
Xlib: connection to "192.168.10.72:0.0" refused by owner

I'd checked the file /var/adm/inetd.sec; it does not deny anything? What else could it be?

Execute the following command on the workstation: -

xhost +

This will allow other servers to run applications on that X server.

You can also do xhost +yourserver to allow just a particular server, whereas the first instance allows anyone.

host 192.168.10.72 is refusing X connection. To enable, use "xhost +" on 192.168.10.72. This will unlock access to X display to this host, from any machine. To restrict from one machine, issue "xhost +myhost" (where myhost is the machine running the graphical app).
