Hi,

Since moving to Xorg on one machine (7.0.22), I have this bug.  In
/etc/X0.hosts:
local:

When I check the access list it shows:
$ xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
LOCAL:

However, a different user with DISPLAY=:0 cannot connect to the server.

If I then
$ xhost local:
non-network local connections being added to access control list

xhost shows the same output

$ xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
LOCAL:

But then the different user can connect to the server.  Looks like a
bug?
