  15. There is a bug with ISC in that if you have a local connection by
  16. setting your display to ":0.0" or "unix:0.0" xhost will not work. Try
  17. setting you DISPLAY variable to your hostname:0.0 and then doing xhost.
  18.  
  19. We are aware of this problem and will try to fix.
  20.  
  21. regards,
  22. -Jim.
