Strangely enough if I try various variations of localhost xhost which should show me the allowed connections always shows me the same things: LOCAL: INET:localhost With an xhost - in between I have tried: xhost +localhost xhost +local:localhost xhost - !! should clear everything xhost + The only difference is if I go xhost +linda then added to the list displayed with a simple xhost is: INET:linda LOCAL: INET:localhost Linda is a computer on my internal network with a fixed IP in /etc/hosts.
