Reflection X works very nicely. I'm using it in a secure environment so I
just start gdm/xdm/whatever on AIX and Linux and it does the job. I've
also used rsh/rlogin/telnet/etc. and it works on both platforms (you just
have to start a window manager as the first command unless you're running
a local WM.
Linux tends to be a bit more anal (and rightly so) about reverse DNS
lookups regarding connections to machines, so make sure your network is
set up correctly and that hosts claim to be the hostname that the DNS says
they are.
