howdie gang! I have two clients with a similar problem: the run a job dispatcher that sends their requests to a free node in a compute cluster to run a compilation or simulation of the system. Some of those jobs are supposed to open an interactive X connection. the display is set right but of course one needs authority to access the user's display. right now it means the user has to run it with "xhost +" and that's just too permissive.
The users run with vnc clients to Xvnc servers, that don't seem to support secure-RPC either, so looks like "xhost +nis:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" can't work either. is the RHEL-supplied Xvnc ignoring MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE because of configuration, or something missing at compile time? the Xsecurity manpage is not giving too many hints...
