On a related issue of host permission, I have noticed that xhost
is not very good about handling hosts with multiple networks
interfaces.
Xhost (seems to) chooses to store and verify host information
based on IP address rather than canonical (official) name. When it
displays the current hosts (xhost without args), it chooses to display
the canonical name rather than IP address (this, I think is wrong
because it is hiding info from you).
The standard Berkeley rsh utilities handle this correctly. Has
anyone done anything to fix this? Is it fixed in version 11?
