Howdy,
I posted following to the list couple days ago.
>I have Sun SPARCstation 2 running Sun OS 4.1.3 and OW 3.1. I edited the
>/etc/X0.hosts file and put one system's hostname with domain name in the

The general response to this was use xhost command. Among the others. One
form Michael Sullivan mentioned that the /etc/X*.hosts is disabled by default.
The xnews uses MIT magic cookie authorization protocol. Another one from
Thomas W Oliver who also mentioned about the magic cookie security and pointed
that the openwindow started with -auth <authfile> option. (The authfile is set
up as $HOME/.xnews.<MACHINENAME>:0). Use -noauth option to enable the
/etc/X0.hosts.
Thanks very much to:
