This is potentially very risky.  Anybody who can access the X port on
your display can do pretty much anything they want with your X server, 
including see every keystroke and mouse movement you make.

    Scott> xhost + <cray>

This is no better; the `+' is optional on the <cray>, the space is
significant, so this is equivalent to `xhost +; xhost <cray>'.  The
xauth method is more secure.
