I'm trying to configure my xhost to be secure. Every time I start and x
server (startxwin.bat) xhost is configured wide open:
$ xhost
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
INET:host-1.fakedomain.net
INET:host-1.fakedomain.net
INET:localhost
LOCAL:
I have to always type xhost - so that I can get:
"access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect"
So 2 questions:
1. How can I get xhost by default configured with access control enabled
by default?
2. How can I removed a hostname in xhost that has a "-" in it.?
In the above example if I do a xhost -host-1.fakedomain.net it doesn't
work. There are no /etc/X.* files on my machines so I don't know where
to manually delete that entry. Any suggestions?
Mahalo,
