I'm brand new to Cygwin (and X in general) and would appreciate some help understanding how to set up authentication with XDM-AUTHENTICATION-1. I'm running the latest Cygwin/XFree86 release and connecting to an HP AlphaServer running OpenVMS. The XDM for OpenVMS supports the XDM-AUTHENTICATION-1 method, but the docs fail to mention anything about how the keys are generated. Does the sysadmin simply make up some numbers, or is there a tool for generating a specific key format?
First of all, does Cygwin support this method? If so, I guess the next thing I need to know is how and where the key is supposed to be stored on the system running Cygwin/XFree. FInally, what command-line parameters are available to pass the key value to the XDM?
Many thanks in advance,
Alder
