Read your manual a bit more!  (Even though the NeWS 1.1 manual is
pretty deficient).  The command "newshost" is used to allow remote
NeWS servers to connect to a given workstation.  If you were on
machine salt, to let machine pepper pop up NeWS windows remotely
you would say:

salt% newshost add pepper

Also setting the systemdict entry /NetSecurityWanted to false will
disable network security.

Does anyone know what newshost enable and disable do?  They are not
described on the newshost manual page.
