What for the next situation: On linux processor, `Xvnc :4 -query aix-machine` then `vncviewer linux-machine:4` This should give you the aix login with a display value of "linux-machine:4" If this works, you can create a setup as follows: on the linux machine, in the inetd config, exchange on some Xvnc lines: "-query localhost" with "-query aix-machine" or even "-broadcast".

I bet it is in the XDMCP configuration: not running, a double server conflict, or settings that dis-allow localhost for some reasons (try "-query aix-machine").
