Uh, whatever. I don't think you're stupid. I don't think *you* think you're stupid.

As one of the "things to try". FWIW, I don't think it's "wrong". But if people use it, they should understand the implications. The X protocol isn't the most secure out there. BTW: the problematic thing is called "xhost +", not "xhost +x", which won't work... tomas@trotzki:~$ xhost + x xhost: bad hostname "x" ...unless there's a host in your network named "x" :-) Further, I don't think things are as bleak as Greg put them, since by default, X doesn't listen on the network these days, but only on a local Unix socket anyway. The attacker would have to have access to the local machine. Security-wise there's bigger fish to fry out there (automount, anyone?). So I don't agree 100% with Greg, and I agree even less with the way he put it (pointing out the issues might be more productive than shouting), but he /has/ a point. Cheers - t
