	On your Linux box, do this:

xauth list

	You should get something that looks like this:

ws240-6.nmsmn.com/unix:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  e50e3ac7c5afe3fD55e031da8d5861be5b

	On your Solaris box, do this:

xauth add <linux ip>:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  e50e3ac7c5afe3fD55e031da8d5861be5b

	Now stuff should work.  :-)

Have fun (if at all possible),
