That said, I never used "xhosts +" (or whatever it) in my life, but I do remember "Redhat Unleashed" a long, long time ago (back in the RH 5.1 days) recommended it. I never needed to back then because ssh -X always seemed to "work". However, it should be pointed out that once someone gets access to your LAN, even ssh, sshd and gnupg are all suspects.
