Dear Harald:
As you can see below, there is no xhost command in that script on my
machine. I was asked to print that script by some of the other folks
monitoring this list as well, unless it is buried somewhere such as
in /usr/bin/X11/startx.
I put the xhost + in my .profile because I often connect to other UNIX
servers and display on my Mac, using the Mac an an X-terminal. Why
anyone writing the OS would want to issue such a command on startup is
a mystery to me. I just tried connecting without it, and the server
could not open the display, so I guess I'll have to issue the xhost +
command manually since the one issued by the startup script doesn't do
it.
New - when I open an xterm window, manually issue the xhost +, rlogin
to my favorite server, and set the DISPLAY to my Mac, I now can't
display. This is another functionality that broke with 10.5.5 that
was working at 10.5.4
And, BTW, my Mac is within a protected network behind a Sun Solaris
server acting as the firewall.
