Should I? Probably not. X0.hosts sets what machines are allowed by default to connect you your Xserver. This was what my problem was.

Unless you can bring up a terminal on a serial port or telnet in from somewhere else. Maybe, you can set the c option to collect 1000 packets or something and the -r option to send it to a file. And hope it's there after you reboot. > Pat > -- There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. Oscar Wilde
