I would like to know how to make xhost+ work again (and
I don't need any patronizing lectures on why xauth or
ssh is "better" thanks).
I have been using xhost for decades on closed trusted
internal networks and would prefer to contain to use
the "standard" behavior in those scenarios.
Something has broken recently and I would like to know
how to fix it, not work around it. If this is hard-coded
rather than configurable it is a bug, not a feature.
Port 6000 is open on the xserver host (can telnet to it from
another host).
If I do an "xhost +" or similar, I get a message claiming
that access control has been disabled, but then when one
looks at the access control list the command has not had
any effect.
% setenv DISPLAY :0.0
% xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
[helgray:~] dclunie% xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
INET6:localhost
INET6:fe80::1
INET:localhost
INET6:helgray.local
INET:192.168.1.100
LOCAL:
[helgray:~] dclunie% xhost +192.168.1.95
192.168.1.95 being added to access control list
[helgray:~] dclunie% xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
INET6:localhost
INET6:fe80::1
INET:localhost
INET6:helgray.local
INET:192.168.1.100
LOCAL:
On the console in which Xquartz was invoked I get the
following message:
AUDIT: Thu Feb 9 07:16:37 2006: 525 Xquartz: client 1 rejected from IP 192.168.1.95
Am I wasting my time without finding the problem in the source
and recompiling, or can this be configured to work ?
Thanks ... David
PS. None of my experiments with values of nolisten_tcp
in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.X11.plist or using defaults
to set com.apple.x11 with defaults seems to make a difference
(despite "http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=265834";).
