Instead the user who is currently logged in needs to be added using the 'server interpreted' method. On Linux the Xserver can identify to which user a process belongs which is trying to connect (please check 'man 7 Xsecurity'). If you or anyone else sees issues with that approach which I don't see ATM please educate me what they are so that I have arguments to support my old patches upstream. To me the patches currently only matter when the OS doesn't support secure determination of the owner of a connecting process or when TCP transport is allowed. The upstream community today cares for neither and thus will reject any additional code which solely benefits either cases. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
