No. It sets the permissions of the __xserver__ to which the session belongs. Try it! linux$ echo $DISPLAY win2k.local.net:0.0 linux$ xhost 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 being added to access control list linux$ xhost access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect INET:localhost linux$ DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xhost xhost: unable to open display "127.0.0.1:0.0" win2k$ DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 xhost access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect INET:win2k > It seems very odd that xhost requires access to the local display in > order to work as you need xhost to set permission to acces the local > display - sort of catch 22. Same with the gates of a castle. To get in, you must open it from inside. This is the main principle of security. You can not allow those who have no access to change the permissions. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
