I have a Fedora 1 system I've just set up. I cannot seem to get the system to allow display of remote X apps on Fedora host. I have firewall turned off, try setting "xhost +" to allow all connections, but any attempt to run remote application is denied. I can ping fedora host, or ssh into it from remote. If I ssh to the remote host, then applications run fine through the ssh tunnel. I am new to Linux administration, am I missing something simple here?

Sorry, I did not make my question clear. X11 through ssh tunnel works fine, no problems. The problem is connecting to fedora X-server from remote host without an ssh X tunnel, even though have run "xhost +" command on fedora, which should open up X-server to all connections as I understand it.

At least for fc > 3 as client OS (i.e where the X-server resides. the box with you and the keyboard ;) ), if you want to forward X11 over ssh, you'l need the -X (and possibly -Y for "full access") flags on the ssh comand-line, in order to forward X11 over ssh.
