That's one way but it's not the only way.
Using ssh -X is better, if the various ssh configurations are set up
to allow it.
Or, try creating a file
/etc/X0.hosts
on your local machine, and put in it the names of the remote machines
you use. If that works it is permanent. You'll have to restart your X
windows server for it to take effect, I think.
If you _must_ use the xhost + command, try to limit it to just the
remote machines you use. Try putting it in your .xinitrc file, if you
have one, or maybe one of your shell startup scripts, such as .login,
.tcshrc, .cshrc, or whichever variation you're using.

Is there a way to make this permanent. So I don't have to do this each
time.
I understand it's a security risk.
Thanks In Advance
