Nor should it. Connections forwarded by ssh are made from the local machine using your cookie. Xhost should have no effect. If you were having the client connect directly to the server then it might help, but presumably you wouldn't want your X server accepting unauthenticated connections from anywhere on the internet on an internet-accessible port. -- Rich
