When starting Mozilla: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Error: Can't open display: :0.0 All other programs can open from the local machine and user even when access control is on. 'xhost +' "solved" the problem. Version: Night buil 980924: mozilla-sparc-sun-solaris2.6.tar.gz Machine: Sun (Sun Microsystems) Ultra 1 Main Memory : 92 MB (and 200MB+ swap) Kernel Version : SunOS Release 5.6 Version Generic_105181-06 [UNIX(R) System V Release 4.0]

That is the way xhost works. This is not a mozilla problem. marking invalid.
Ooops, stupid me. I started mozilla from a short script setting $HOME to another directory to avoid conflicts with netscape. But that directory did not contain .Xauthority .... (It now has a sym link to it!) Sorry, I should have looked a bit deeper into the problem.
