By default, there isn't a file. You can create it as root if desired. (in /etc). If I remember right, it should only be writable by root.
Note, you can also create /etc/X1.hosts, /etc/X2.hosts, etc, if you desire to have multiple X servers running at any one time.

I posted a question a few days back to see if anyone could tell me where the default X0.hosts file should/does reside. Searching the system turns up nothing, and did not find any info in any of the man pages, other than it would reside in /etc, but doesn't. Setting a host access permission does not become permanent, and I'd really like to find out where the thing should be so I can solve that little irritant.
Thanks..
Apparently something is unaware of the X0.hosts file created in /etc. I've added my hosts IAW the standard format, i.e., INET: xx.xx.xx.xx but it is not recognized. Manually adding a host with the xhost + command does in fact create that host access, but as soon as X is restarted, it goes away. Suggestions as to what next ?
