10.5: Enable X11 listening on port 6000

Another way is to use a ( .xsessions ) file in $HOME. Just add your trusted hosts in it.

[example]

xhost hosta
xhost hostb
xhost etc

This is not good either. Xauth can probably be faked or the cookie can be obtained from your machine. This is not secure. Use ssh. It will work as it did before w/o you noticing ans as it is expected to work. The hint should probably be removed.

It's a matter of personal choice if you use the hint or not!
