The page does only describe the options that are specific to XWin. The
default parameters are described in the Xserver manpage.

It does. But the output is redirected to /tmp/XWin.log
Maybe this should be added to the options page in the users-guide.

Is this the host where xfree is running? I think these entries are added
to allow connections from the host where the xserver is running. I think
the entry is added twice because the host might have to network interfaces
and they are sharing the same hostname

If this is the host where xwin is running, then you can ignore these entries.
