I have a FreeBSD box and two Linux boxes, all have X configured on
them.  I would like to be able to run X Windows on the FreeBSD box and
open a xterm from one of the Linux boxes.  The only catch is that I do
NOT use rsh, I use ssh2.  I tried this (from page 315 of Complete
FreeBSD):

ssh linuxbox1 xterm -ls -display freebsd:0

I get this error:

Xlib: connection to "freebsd:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: glob:0

What do I have to change to allow authorization?

Sam
