> And is there a known way to put that .Xauthority file NOT in /home/user ? $ xauth list # if you already have keys, skip next $ xauth generate . # perform if you have no auth file $ xauth nextract keeling.xa $DISPLAY # should be the only step needed. Switch to client machine. $ export DISPLAY=$HOSTIP:0.0 # $HOSTIP == remote IP address/`hostname -f` $ xauth nmerge $HOSTIP:~keeling/keeling.xa -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
