I logged on to m11-113-1, xhosted hydrox cookie, and then from hydrox
set my DISPLAY env var to m11-113-1:0.
hydrox couldn't open an X connection to m11-113-1 (connection
refused).
"xhost" on m11-113-1 showed hydrox, but not the localhost.
A "ps" on m11-113-1 showed that there were 2 X server processes
running on the workstation. In the "TT" column, one had "hft/1" in
it, the other had nothing. I killed the one that had nothing.
Then I tried to run oneko (my favorite X program) from hydrox, on
m11-113-1, and the error message I got was that the X server was not
responding.
I logged out of m11-113-1 and then back in again, and everything
worked fine. This time, "xhost" showed both hydrox and the localhost.
