Thank you for your prompt answers - because the mailserver told me about
a problem I sent the question twice. Sorry.

My original question was:

I tried to start a X-application in the following way:

$
$ DISPLAY=goaw04:0
$ export DISPLAY
$
$ SETUSER=sap comfax-x&
[1] 23745
$ Xlib: connection to "goaw04:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
X Toolkit Error: Can't open display: goaw04:0
$
[1] + Done(1) SETUSER=sap comfax-x&
$
$

Since this application works fine with a MAC (DISPLAY=iridium:0), ther must be sonething wrong on node goaw04. What??



Thanks to all those who responded, so far:

1. simple solution (not very secure)

 On host goaw04: xhost -goas04" (or simple "xhost +")


2. solution with good security

on host goaw04: xauth add goas04:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
                                xauth list (looking what you´ve done)


Seems that everone - except me - knows how to do.

Have a good time
