How can this avoid Network Traffic? > we still need xhost +localhost on the Terminal, but noone > (exept the admin) has the passwords for the Lessdisks-Environment, > so that this is not a problem. Ok. > Maybe one day I'll understand xauth* ;-) Short explanation: X has two possibilities to authenticate "clients". 1. Using host based authentication (mostly bad) 2. Using key based authentication (the MAGIC cookie) You can list the magic cookie with: xauth list $DISPLAY and tranfer it to another computer like: xauth -f someothersecretfile add $(xauth list $DISPLAY). You can get the magic cookie normally also from the auth file specified at startup of the X-Server: # ps aux | grep X X -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-WckUrE [...] And you can use xauth merge or xauth list on that file. Hope this clarifies it up. cu Fabian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCaYkTI0lSH7CXz7MRAnm6AJ4pGkbvXPQfIwLMSMviKc0upGM96gCfT7ks VhyVZYV/Kpagt6HWGqSjeHY= =yTMd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
