default host-based access control settings

Description
I'm trying to configure the X server to use host-based access control rules
from /etc/X0.hosts. The contents is a single line, namely "local:".
After startup the server won't accept seemingly valid connections; I see this
in the log:
AUDIT: Mon Mar 14 03:05:16 2005: 24265 X: client 30 rejected from local host
Issuing xhost here gives:
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
LOCAL:
After typing "xhost + local:" in a terminal in X the same access rules are
reported by xhost, only the applications now do work.
What exactly isn't working... I've got "/usr/bin/irexec /etc/lircrc"started from an initscript, next when pressing some button the following is executed: "/bin/ps -C xawtv && /bin/killall xawtv || /usr/bin/xawtv -f -display :0 &"
Please mail me if you need more info; I won't be monitoring this since I've already found a workaround. Also mail me if it gets fixed :-)
