Just a follow up to my own question for the archives:
I didn't figure out a way to disable xauth but I did figure out a
way to use xhosts. I created a bash script that said:
sleep 45
export DISPLAY=:7
xhost +{ip address}
and put it in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/local/bin
I then modified the ldm screen script (in
/opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/screen.d) to launch my script in the
background just before starting ldm by adding:
/usr/local/bin/petes-script& just before ldm is started
Probably a much better and easier way to do what I want but damned
if I could figure it out! :-)
