The reproduction instructions seem to be incomplete, can you please provide clear step by step reproduction instructions for your problem, and also include any error messages and the expected result.

Comment 3 Abhi 2016-02-11 19:24:32 UTC

Here are the detailed steps:

1. Built a server with rhel 7.0.
2. /host/xclock was working.
2. After couple of months i.e 1 st week of Jan, i have updated the os with latest patches.

3. Upon patching the xhost/xclock stopped working.

Comment 4 Hans de Goede 2016-02-12 18:59:37 UTC

I still need better reproduction instructions. Please describe step by step what you are doing, without skipping any steps, here is an incomplete list of unanswered questions:

1) How are you logging in to the system?
2) Are you using xhost to change permissions?
3) If you are using xhost to change permissions, then I take it that you are using 2 sessions, one where you are using xhost to open things u[ and another where you are starting a program ?
4) Please provide a list of the all commanfs you enter in both sessions starting with how you log in to both session?
4) Why did you need to manually set "export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0" back when things were still working  ?
(normally DISPLAY will get set correctly automatically)
5) How is "/etc/ssh/sshd_config X11Forwarding yes" relevant to your case ?
6) If you're using ssh forwarding why are you also using "xhost" to set permissions ?
7) etc.
