Mandrake 6.0 .Xauthority

[Elmer Joandi]

Looks like Mandrake 6.0 wont create .Xauthority

Dont know where and how RedHat does it but there it is.

Now just installed Mandrake and assumed it to be RH60 clone
and found after some time that there is just plain
host authentication and that is quite wide-open.

I solved the problem with

echo remove $DISPLAY | xauth ;
echo generate $DISPLAY | xauth ;

in  /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

which is probably incorrect in detail.
