If you know that all the other users needing will be logged in on that
machine (perhaps by telnet), and assume that all such users are
trustworthy

			    xhost +local:

allows you to permit all local connections.  This is convenient if you 
want to run a configuration utility as root, for example, while logged 
in as an ordinary user.

I've never tried to authorize differentiating between local users; if
that's what you need, sorry, I can't help.
