You can use all sorts of access control: host based, auth based or si (server interpreted). The only thing is that access control is required for all but local connections. This has been for a while already. In the code I was able to trace this back since XFree86. To get back the 'old' behaviour, you'd need to specify '-ac' along with '-listen tcp' or run 'xhost +' from a local connection.
