Pardon me, I have Debian 1.3 installed, and are trying to start the X server with
/usr/bin/X11/xinit -auth $HOME/.Xauthority This works ... . But when I provide the remote host, a Sparc machine running solaris 2.5, with my magic cookie (xauth add $DISPLAY . xxxxx cookie xxxxxxxx) and execute, say, "xterm &", I got the message Xlib: connection to "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Error: Can't open display: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0 at the remote machine. What am I doing wrong here? Could it be that the script I use to generate the magic cookie not usable on a Debian system? I found it at http://cc-toolkit.crd.ge.com/tkxauth/bet-1.txt There was a mention about non-portability but I am not totally sure if it is the case here. Maybe the knowledgeables can check this out for us. Does anyone has workable script then? I am aware that xdm is suppose to run a secure X server. Is this script already sitting on my machine? Where can I find it? I ready don't wish to run xdm. Thank you in advance! HenSiong -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
