A somewhat (though not perfectly) safer way of doing this is to launch Xephyr in your host system with the -ac argument. This disables access control for Xephyr, which should let you connect from inside the target chroot. Anyone with access to your system will be able to watch anything you do inside the Xephyr session, but that's much less likely to cause you security issues. Ideally, generate an authentication file inside the development environment and then run Xephyr with the -auth argument to tell it to use that authentication file. That way there's a shared secret between the clients and Xephyr, which prevents any information leakage. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
