SUMMARY: Java in Netscape

I got the wrong impression that I needed to open
the door for all Java web sites on the Internet.
All I have to do is
"xhost +host.abc.edu".

Here is my original post:

I am experiencing the difficulty in browsing the Java applet
web page from my Netscape 2.0 under sun4c + Solaris 2.4.
Whenever I point to a Java web page at the first
time, a window pops up and says
"Xlib: connection to "host.abc.edu:0.0" refused by server
 Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to server"

In console window, another message is saying
"AUDIT: Tue May 21 09:08:51 1996: 267 X: client 16 rejected from
IP X.X.X.X port 33272" where X.X.X.X is the IP address of
host.abc.edu.

The problem can be resolved by command "xhost +".
But there is too much security concern with this universal
permission to connect to our X server.
