ssh -X shop problem...

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

Tonight I thought I'd play with emc2 a bit, but since updateing this 
machine to FC6, somethings gone fubar in the X11 forwarding.  Here is 
whats been executed to get to the failure:

---------
[root at coyote amanda]# xhost +192.168.71.4
192.168.71.4 being added to access control list
[root at coyote amanda]# su gene
[gene at coyote amanda]$ ssh -X shop
gene at shop's password:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

Welcome to the Shop @ the Coyote's Den

EMC2 - pre-2.1 CVS HEAD
Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
Application initialization failed: couldn't connect to 
display "localhost:10.0"
------------

Obviously I can't do this xhost thingy as a common user:
----------
[gene at coyote amanda]$ xhost +192.168.71.4
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

xhost:  unable to open display ":0"
-----------
X was started by root, as usual.

Where did I mess up?  Where is this access control list being maintained 
and is it editable by mortals?  Or where is this magic cookie key?, and 
how do I refresh it to valid status?

This exact procedure worked just fine when I was running FC2 (with 
xorg-6.8.1-901 hand built on this box.)
