"Don't do that." xhost is notoriously insecure; ssh X forwarding is easier to manage, isn't vulnerable to IP spoofing attacks, and doesn't require you to manually set DISPLAY. The X server in woody comes, by default, with its TCP socket disabled (so ssh X forwarding and local connections work, but "normal remote X connections" don't). Changing this is left as an exercise to the reader. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
