Actually, to be somewhat more secure (if you are connected to the net),
you can use (it should be xhost, not xhosts)
xhost +fulldomainname
so that other machines are still refused. Also, if this is the way you
choose to go, you can alternatively create the file /etc/X*.hosts
(replacing * with the display number, usually 0) and include each machine
on individual lines. See xhost(1) for details. Cheers, Colin
