By default, there isn't a file. You can create it as root if desired. (in /etc). If I remember right, it should only be writable by root. Note, you can also create /etc/X1.hosts, /etc/X2.hosts, etc, if you desire to have multiple X servers running at any one time. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:centos-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sam Drinkard Sent: Saturday, November 19, 2005 8:20 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Xhosts file I posted a question a few days back to see if anyone could tell me where the default X0.hosts file should/does reside. Searching the system turns up nothing, and did not find any info in any of the man pages, other than it would reside in /etc, but doesn't. Setting a host access permission does not become permanent, and I'd really like to find out where the thing should be so I can solve that little irritant.
