Possible bug in the enabling the hosts on the personal iris

	I am having problems in disabling the access control on the personal
iris machines.  If I give the command xhost + prior to xterm, the system comes
back with the message that access control disabled.  If one tries to check the
allowed hosts by the xhost command iris lists only the local host and the
current machine.  One cannot display applications from remote servers on this
display.  However if one has opened any applications like xterm prior to
disabling the access control by the command xhost + then everything goes as
per the book.

	What can be the reason for this inconsistancy?  and are there any
fixes for this.

	All comments and suggestions appreciated.
