Hello, The easy answer is not to let untrusted applications connect to your X-server... Run xterm locally and connect with no X-forwarding with ssh to each vserver. But that does not answer your question.
It is possible to run some applications untrusted. Read "man xauth" and search for "untrusted". This seem to work. Test with "xwininfo". cp ~/.Xauthority ~/.XauthorityUntrusted export XAUTHORITY=~/.XauthorityUntrusted xauth generate $DISPLAY xterm But this does not work for many applications. One solution for them is to use Xnest or Xvnc. Regards, Jerker Nyberg. Uppsala, Sweden.
