I'd be grateful if someone could point me to information about getting xauth working with Cygwin/XFree86 at all.
Particularly, how do I generate a file suitable for the "-auth" parameter of XWin.exe? The documentation I've been able to find all relies on xdm setting things up and doesn't really explain exactly what it does. (xdm itself won't run because it expects to be root and it creates files with colons in their names.) I've tried generating a file using xauth but no matter what I do the server refuses connections if the file is non-zero in size but allows any access if it's empty. TIA -- Sam Edge
