It may help to know that 8.1's Solaris X server already denied
access to hostname:0.0 :
portnoy{8}% env DISPLAY=portnoy:0.0 xhost
Xlib: connection to "portnoy:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
xhost: unable to open display "portnoy:0.0"
Exit 1
portnoy{9}% env DISPLAY=:0.0 xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect

(Incidentally, I've spent a few days looking into whether wish
can be made more tolerant of X11R6's listing of xhost'ed machines.
Not sure if it can be done, in which case I'll probably just
compile wish in non-paranoid mode.)
