ongoing X access saga (xhost +)

I need assistance in resolving an ongoing issue with X server access (CDE).
I am running Oracle Applications and it came to a point that I had to do a
xhost + in order to accommodate all the different incoming connections. The
real problem is that for some reason X access will go back to being
enabled. Usually this would occur after a reboot, but the box has been up
for several days. What I ultimately want to do is open X access wide open
and have it remain that way (preferably across a reboot).

What I've tried:

/etc/X0.hosts
root
root@host

/etc/init.d/runme
#! /bin/sh

 XAUTHORITY=`ps -aef | grep '[X]sun' | sed 's/.* //'`
 export XAUTHORITY
 DISPLAY=host:0.0
 export DISPLAY
 /usr/openwin/bin/xhost + 2>&1 | tee /runfinal.out

after reboot; runfinal shows that connection refused and I think that's
because of dtlogin...

~Ultimately~ if I can disable access control for the X server for *GOOD*
then I
am willing to take this route and I work around the implications in another
manner.

TIA
