Description John 2001-12-01 07:08:16 AEDT 
With X11 forwarding enabled, I am unable to view xterms (and other x-window 
based programs) compiled against X11R5.  The error returned is:

Error: Can't open display: bass:11.0
Error: Couldn't find per display information

For the error above the command line was "/usr/bin/X11/xterm"  However,
"/usr/contrib/bin/X11/xterm" works correctly.

on 11.11, /usr/bin/X11/xterm does work, and is using R5 libs.
i don't have 11.00 to test.  do you have the latest X11 runtime
patch?  is the display set to the hostname IP address?

I finally resolved the problem.  (insert excuse here) I assumed that the person
who installed the system did it correctly and I didn't check for the existance 
of /etc/nsswitch.conf.  nslookup's and other DNS queries worked.  Once I 
created the conf file, the "per display info" problem went away.  BTW, I was 
using TUSC, but I didn't see where nsswitch.conf was getting checked (not a 
bug).
