Local Sessions with X terminals

An X terminal consists of a display device or 'console' and a CPU that only runs X and it boots off of a host machine where all processes run but X.  If, while logged in as one user you then ‘su’ to another user name, the license manager will use an additional license unless ‘xhost’ has been enabled for the console on which you are working.  

To enable ‘xhost’ on your UNIX workstation, use this command:

% xhost nodename
