Strangely enough if I try various variations of localhost
xhost
which should show me the allowed connections
always shows me the same things:
LOCAL:
INET:localhost
With an xhost - in between I have tried:
xhost +localhost
xhost +local:localhost
xhost - !! should clear everything
xhost +
The only difference is if I go
xhost +linda
then added to the list displayed with a simple xhost is:
INET:linda
LOCAL:
INET:localhost
Linda is a computer on my internal network with a fixed IP in /etc/hosts.
Any idea what this all means?
