Run xinit with a -auth parameter, like:
xinit -auth "$HOME/.Xauthority"
I use the following script to run xinit. It generates a new
cookie every time it is run. I picked the info quite a while ago,
so I can't remember where from :(
The exmh FAQ led me there, though...
------------
#!/bin/sh
## /usr/local/bin/x
#generate a new random magic cookie for the xserver
dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 | md5sum | sed -e 's/^\([0-9a-f]*\).*$/add :0 . \1/' |
xauth -q
xinit -- $@ -auth "$HOME/.Xauthority"
------------
Note that ``| xauth -q'' should actually be on the same line as ``dd etc...''
Hope this helps
sb.
