To be clear, the previous author was not talking about virtual hosts or

programs on the same port. One was Apache and the other Zeus, if I

You might be able to get around it by generating a cookie for the host name
as it is seen from the network:
xauth generate outside.name:0 .
Dunno if that will work or not.

qmail can handle an unlimited number of users in an unlimited number of

qmail is highly efficient and designed to be secure. It does have its

Is this identical to the problem Qt has (had)? Surely, you can make a

made.
