Connection refused error, xhost+ help question
 

I did what a post said to fix the
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
error said

it asks to do, xhost +
and says it allows anyone to connect to the x session?
is that any kind of a security risk? or does it only matter to those in network? (just protected by a router firewall in linux atm.)

Anyone know? :)

thanks.

if you do an xhost local:0 it only allows non-network local connections to let root start something in X. (IE, if you're running in a multi-user environment, with 5 people logged in.... but not on the net)
