If the Sun has ssh running, use ssh -X or -Y to connect.
If not, or if this would be too much overhead and slows things down,
telnet is okay. You probably have your local X server runing with
the "-nolisten tcp" option which prevents access over port 6000 to your
server, probably due to security reasons. Check with "ps ax | grep
[/]usr/bin/X". Or try "telnet localhost 6000", if you get a "connection
refused", you have to enable tcp listening.
To do so with KDM as display manager, comment the line
#ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp
in your /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and restart ("/etc/init.d/xdm
restart") after logging out of KDE.
