Apparently something is unaware of the X0.hosts file created in /etc.
I've added my hosts IAW the standard format, i.e., INET: xx.xx.xx.xx but
it is not recognized. Manually adding a host with the xhost + command
does in fact create that host access, but as soon as X is restarted, it
goes away. Suggestions as to what next ?
