Wild guess: dxui uses a port ("-appPort 1920") to connect to the
executable. This is probably changeable using some command line option.
Could it be that that port is taken up? Maybe your ssh is set up to
forward this port and only for one machine, not for the other.

complains that it cannot connect to dxexec.
However, if I ssh to the same account on the same machine, but this
time ssh FROM a different SGI (an Onyx running IRIX 6.5 in another
building, possibly another network subnet), I can run dx and then

I thought of that (and tested it unsuccessfully by modifying dxworker
to ignore its appPort argument), but it doesn't explain why it does
work from the Onyx. Remember, I am running OpenDX on the same AIX
box regardless of where I am ssh'ing from. I simply ssh to the
machine and type `dx` and the trouble starts in.
If possible, please Cc replies to me by email as I am on the digest
mode of the list, thanks! :-)
