Yes, I have found *exactly* those links and they don't address my problem at all. They address the problem of when it's non-root user at the other end. I had to do what they say to get it so that I can run a non-root X process on the remote system. The issue is that, having fixed all those problems so that X works, I *still* can't run network-admin.
Chris,
Are you by any chance using ssh to log in to the remote system as a regular user and then using 'su' to get root access?
If so try using plain 'su' rather than 'su - '.
This should leave the XAUTHORITY environment variable as ssh had set it and should avoid the issue.
