    When VNC is installed on AIX and the vncserver command is used to start a VNC server, the default $HOME/.vnc/xstartup file will start an xterm window on the VNC X desktop. If one attempts to use xhost in the xterm window (to give another host authority to use the VNC X desktop), one is likely to encounter a problem:

    $ xhost + surveyor
    surveyor being added to access control list
    1346-203 xhost: must be on local machine to add or remove hosts.
    $

    The problem can be circumvented by changing DISPLAY=dodgers:1.0 (for example) to DISPLAY=:1 A bug report has been submitted to the AIX Toolbox developer communications site (at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1150621&group_id=128955&atid=712808), but a fix is not yet available, nor does it seem like one will be forthcoming any time soon.
