Re: Remote X display not working....

["Gary Mansell" <Gary Mansell ricardo com>]

Thanks for the pointer - you have to add the following line to the conf
file:

DisallowTCP=false

This seems to disable all security access though. I can now drop remote
displays onto my screen without having to do an xhost +

How do I reactivate the old xhost control security so that I have to do
an xhost +machinename on my machine before anyone can drop an X window
onto my screen?

Thanks in advance
