Hi, I think it was on debian-devel that somebody asked about this subject. I replied that I had a rather simple setup using the .xserverrc-file, and a couple of people asked me to mail it to them. So I decided to send it to the list. Here it follows:
#!/bin/sh # Generate a random key; Mui and Pearce offer a number of alternatives # for this. randomkey=`perl -e 'srand; printf int(rand(100000000000000000))'` # HOST=`hostname` # # Add the code to the .Xauthority list for local-host sockets xauth add $HOST/unix:0 . $randomkey # # Add the code to the .Xauthority list for TCP/IP connections xauth add $HOST:0 . $randomkey exec /usr/X11R6/bin/X -auth $HOME/.Xauthority Sometimes there are some messages on startup about non-hex characters in the random-key, but it still works AFAIK.
