While I disagree that storing cookies in $HOME ‘sucks for NFS’, I very much agree that a server started w/o -ac and -auth should do exactly what Adam proposes: allow connections, by default, only from the starting UID and only from localhost. When -auth is specified, it should work as it currently does. Which leaves the interesting question of what should happen if -auth is not specified, but -ac is? Not to mention whether -nolisten tcp also should be the default? Or perhaps the default only w/o -ac and -auth? -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list xorg-devel@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
