I was not sure what it did. Just copied the example. I suppose I can just leave the line out altogether. But, let's say my machine were left on and on the net. I'm at work on a unix box that's on the net. I'm running xwindows here. What kind of access would I have to my machine at that point. I do not have telnetd or ftpd running on my home machine. What would xhost + ip allow me (if ip was this machine here at work) ??? Chris wrote: > > I think over any type of network it's a security hazzard.
