The message below is received when accessing a RHEL server from OSX.
The latest XQuartz is running on the OSX (Mavericks) - any ideas on where to troubleshoot? I have Googled the heck out of this issue to no avail.
[root@foo bin]# ./389-console X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. Console: Can't connect to X11 window server using 'localhost:11.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

You say "accessing a RHEL server", so I assume you're accessing thru the Mac's Terminal, maybe w/ rlogin or ssh? These are on the same network? In other words, the RHEL is not off at a friend's or an ISP and you Mac is at home behind a firewall/router? If so, get the IP address of the Mac, and after you rlogin/ssh to the RHEL, explicitly set the display back to your Mac, like setenv DISPLAY 10.0.1.1:0 (tcsh syntax). You might also want to type xhost + on the Mac first.
After that, it should work. If it does, you might want to replace xhost + with the proper command to just allow the RHEL to connect to the Mac's X server, instead of allowing everyone to connect.
