I just upgraded my laptop to XFree86 4.2 and everything seemed to work,
but I just discovered a MADDENING problem.

I have xhost lines in my xinitrc to allow remote X programs for a
handful of machines, but since upgrading 4.0->4.2 those machines can't
display on the server.  I checked the xhost commands, and the hostnames
are correct.  I tried using the IP address instead with no success.
The workstation can ping the laptop, so it isn't a network problem.  It
all comes down to the laptop not allowing X clients that xhost says it
should.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?  Alternatively, does anyone have any
suggestions on diagnostics to figure out what's going wrong?
