Not relevant to SSH X forwarding and could potentially open up
security holes by allowing other machines to connect directly to your
X server.  Normally X's built-in authentication mechanisms will
prevent people from doing bad things even if X is listening on TCP but
if you disable access control or if a remotely-exploitable flaw is
found in X, other people may be able to hijack your X session.
