Hi,
I'm running XFree86 3.2 installed from the FreeBSD 2.1.6-R CD-ROM,
and am trying to get an XSecurity feature to work. Namely, I want a
".Xauthority" file written than I can then transfer to other
locations.
>from "man XServer":
-auth authorization-file
Specifies a file which contains a collection of
authorization records used to authenticate access.
See also the xdm and Xsecurity manual pages.
There is no system xserverrc file:
% pwd
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit
% ls -lta
total 6
drwxrwxr-x 28 root wheel 1024 Jan 24 17:11 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 16 19:50 ./
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 666 Oct 24 02:54 xinitrc
The .Xauthority file is never created when I start up X-Windows as
follows: (or when I create a .xserverrc to do the same thing).
% xinit $HOME/.xinitrc -- :0 -auth $HOME/.Xauthority
XFree86 Version 3.2 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6100)
Release Date: Oct 26 1996
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

HOWEVER, .Xauthority is never created:

% ls -lta .X*
ls: No match.
Any help?
Thanks!
