Sorry for the short message... I was hoping that 8.2 suns are
running a new version of X, or something simple like that.
The information returned by the "xhost" command (or the
XListHosts function call) has changed. Where it used to report
that N hosts are authorized to connect, it now reports that N+3
hosts are authorized to connect.
(The three new hosts which are reported are:
INET:mary-kay-commandos.mit.edu (or whatever your true hostname is)
INET:localhost
LOCAL:
)
When wish sees XListHosts claim that three remote hosts can
contact the X server, it disables the "send" command, to
protect the user.
I have no idea why XListHosts decided to start giving out extra
information. If I have free time, I think I might be able to fix
wish to cope with the difference.
(Interestingly, I notice that IRIX, Linux, and NetBSD also seem
to have the N+3 form of XListHosts.)
