One of the three, but it's not the problem :)
The offending machine (this one) has a static IP, and a fixed name
(hawkins.cba.uni.edu). It's the one that can't display output from
other machines, either the redhat machine (also with a static ip/name),
or the machine on the cable modem (after setting DISPLAY, xauth, etc.,
of course).
It is no problem displaying programs from this box *to* the box with
the dynamic IP.
At this point, I'm pretty much convinced that the problem is with
something in xdm configuration that changed going from slink to
potato.
And I *really* need to be able to access the remote machine--this
machine strains on starcalc3, which has a tendency to produce
erros in spreadsheets that cause it to crash on load. The only
known solution is to open and save the sheet in scalc3 format with
soffice5--and running *that* on this machine is utterly out of the
question (until potato, I ran netscape from a machine 100 miles away.
Now I've got lynx configured to launch new instances and have a light
background, so I don't need netscape more than a time or two a week).
Overall, though (hmm, I'm babbling . . .) potato seems to put a much
harsher load on my resources; the things that I used to be able to
do are no longer possible without several minutes of paging :(
