                          If I do

    xhost +
    >access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
    su AnotherUser -c xterm
an xterm pops up.
However if I do

    xhost +SI:localuser:AnotherUser
    >localuser:AnotherUser being added to access control list
    su AnotherUser -c xterm
I got No protocol specified, I'd like to understand why it doesn't work.

I am in Debian sid amd64
