Making an X*.hosts file The /etc/X0.hosts file is an ASCII text file containing the hostnames of each remote host permitted to access your local server. • If you are running as a stand-alone system, you must have your system's name in this file. • If you are part of a network, the other system names must be included. The syntax is as follows: For example, if you are hpaaaaa, and regularly ran clients on hpccccc, and hpddddd, you would want the following lines. hpaaaaa hpccccc hpddddd Note: Aliases work as well as hostnames, provided they are valid, that is, commonly known across the network X0.hosts and X0screens relation The default screen configuration file X0screens uses the default X11 remote host file X0.hosts. Each custom X*screens file is associated with a special X*.hosts file. The number represented by the "*" causes the correct screen and host files to be used together. For example, X3screens takes an X3.hosts file. Both are referenced by the server when it is started with a /usr/bin/X11/X :3 command. Graphics Administration Guide For Red Hat Linux 6.2

Chapter 4 X windows configuration details
This chapter discusses several details concerning the configuration of X hosts, keyboards,
mice, and other input peripherials.
Making an X*.hosts file
The
/etc/X0.hosts
file is an ASCII text file containing the hostnames of each
remote host permitted to access your local server.
If you are running as a stand-alone system, you must have your system's name in
this file.
If you are part of a network, the other system names must be included.
The syntax is as follows:
<
host>
<host>
<host
>
For example, if you are
hpaaaaa
, and regularly ran clients on
hpccccc
, and
hpddddd
, you would want the following lines.
hpaaaaa
hpccccc
hpddddd

Note:
Aliases work as well as hostnames, provided they are valid, that is, commonly
known across the network.

X0.hosts and X0screens relation
The default screen configuration file
X0screens
uses the default X11 remote host file
X0.hosts
.
Each custom
X*screens
file is associated with a special
X*.hosts
file. The
number represented by the "
*
" causes the correct screen and host files to be used
together. For example,
X3screens
takes an
X3.hosts
file. Both are referenced by
the server when it is started with a
/usr/bin/X11/X :3
command.
