    Problem Text
    This test may fail on IUTs using an unbranded server that may not
    be configured to support access control requests from the client
    machine.

    When a client sends a valid ChangeHosts protocol request to the X server,
    then the X server does not send back an error, event or reply to the client.
    The X/Open CDE Components and Profile Definitions requires a test environment
    in which the X protocol driving the display is carried over an external
    TCP/IP connection. The test suite (client) does not reside on the same host
    as the X server, which results in an Access error for ChangeHosts protocol
    request.

    Additional information:
    Because of the test environment (using an X Terminal for display), there is
    no way to configure the test system to grant permission for the remote client
    to perform a ChangeHosts request.

    The tests for XAddHost, XAddHosts, XRemoveHost and XRemoveHosts Xlib
    functions (which generate a ChangeHosts X protocol request) specifically
    test for a BadAccess return and flags the test as "Untested" when that
    occurs.

    However, the ChangeHosts testcase (which also generates a ChangeHosts X
    protocol request) does not test for a BadAccess return code. Instead,
    when that occurs, it flags the test as "Failed." Since these tests are
    running in the same test environment, the ChangeHosts testcase is inconsistent
    with the aforementioned tests, which do not fail for the same test condition.

    Compare the ChangeHosts and XAddHost test assertions:

    ChangeHosts -
    >>ASSERTION A ChangeHosts-1
    When a client sends a valid ChangeHosts protocol request to
    the X server, then the X server does not send back an error,
    event or reply to the client.
    >>STRATEGY
    Call library function testfunc() to do the following:
    Open a connection to the X server using native byte sex.
    Send a valid ChangeHosts protocol request to the X server.
    Verify that the X server does not send back an error, event or reply.
    Open a connection to the X server using reversed byte sex.
    Send a valid ChangeHosts protocol request to the X server.
    Verify that the X server does not send back an error, event or reply.

    XAddHosts -
    >>ASSERTION B XAddHost-1
    A call to XAddHost adds the specified host to the access
    control list for the display.
    >>STRATEGY
    Get current acl.
    If current list includes the host to be added:
    Remove host with XRemoveHost
    Get current acl.
    Check that host to be added is not in the list.
    Call XAddHost to add host.
    If call fails with a BadAccess:
    Report that assertion can not be tested from this host.
    Get new acl.
    Verify that host is in new acl.
    Test Output
    Test 1: FAIL
    Expect: wanted NOTHING, got ERROR - BadAccess
    Test ChangeHosts failed with 1 error.
