[ale] x prob.

[z.yu at voicecom.com (Jerry Z. Yu)]

Two 'security setting' may be in your way
1) personal firewall (ipchains/iptables) blocked incoming TCP request to 
port 6000
2)  X is configured to not to listen to TCP requests at all. 

Either of these two will defeat the telnet/set DISPLAY/xterm sequence. 
However, it should not hinder the SSH tunneled x session.
