You should check if X11 is installed on your system.
To find out what you need to install to get xhost use something like this:
It's probably something like xorg-x11-server-utils
Also check with "yum grouplist" to see if you can install the X11 environment as a whole.

yum whatprovides "*/xhost

what do you want to do to users?
You can add/delete/modify on the command line easy enough.
Is there a system-config-users-tui?

yum whatprovides "xhosts*" will display :
xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-
How to install it further ? Tks

You can install it with "yum install xorg-x11-server-utils"
If you want to install it via groupinstall (this will install much more though, so I don't know what you want to achieve, is it a server or desktop?) you can do something like this:
"yum groupinstall "X Window System" "Desktop" "Desktop Platform" "General Purpose Desktop""
WARNING this installs a complete desktop environment
You can slim it down with only doing something like this:
"yum groupinstall "X Window System""

Type in "DISPLAY" in the terminal followed by enter, does it give anything?
ASKER
-bash: DISPLAY: command not found
hmmm, ok ... Probably not installed then.
Try this:
Where "your_hostname" is the name of your system, for example "box.domain.dns"
After that try your command again
Try this:
export DISPLAY=your_hostname:0.0
Where "your_hostname" is the name of your system, for example "box.domain.dns"
After that try your command again

Do the export again, like this:
try "xhost +"
If this still doesn't work what's the result of this: "echo $hostname"
export DISPLAY=":0.0"
export DISPLAY="your_ip:0.0"
try "xhost +"
If this still doesn't work what's the result of this: "echo $hostname"
