That's the only solution I've seen implemented in a lot of organisations and universities. |I know that but I guess X should be civilised enough to honour what |it's owner tells him. Well as long as you have "xhost -" as your default X is *civilised* enough to *rudely* refuse incoming connections... you need to be happy for that... HP-UX and stuff come with "xhost +" as default... allowing anyone anywhere in the world to listen in on your keystrokes!! It's one of the easiest ways to get someones root password!
