(http://www.securityportal.com/list-archive/bugtraq/).  Setting "xhost
+" will allow *anybody* to make a connection to your box on port 6000.
It is much better to specify the specific hosts that you wish to allow
to connect by entering xhost [IP address of hostname].  For example,
"xhost 192.168.0.5".   =20

Whoops! I keep forgetting that there's networked people out there. I'm so used
to using standalone machines that I don't pay attention sometimes.
