Whatever happened to the RemoteHostRegistry dictionary, which maintains a
list of remote host names authorized to connect to the xnews server?  By
putting the following clause in my .user.ps file, I conveniently used to
be
able to initialize this list under Openwindows V 2:

RemoteHostRegistry begin
	/host1	true	def
	/host2	true	def
	etc.
	end

This fails under OW V3.  Adding "/NeWS 3 0 findpackage beginpackage"
doesn't help, either.  Any suggestions?  Thank you in advance.

The authorization code was completely re-written for OWv3 to be more
compatible with the X11 side and to provide a bit better security.
(It now supports the user@domain instead of just host level checking.)
The easiest way to add hosts now is to simply add an xhost or xauth
command to your .xinitrc, or to create an /etc/X*.hosts file. (where
* is the display number of the server)
