Bad sysadmin probably put xhost + in the main xinitrc.
Common rookie mistake, but don't blame X for that weakness.
- vetinari 12y agoWe did something similar, but it was years before xauth and xhost. It also wasn't anything malicious, just a prank, when you run xeyes on someone else's terminal. They would laugh a little and then continue with their lifes. Nothing serious, requiring sysadmining.
