Ahhh ... the X server *requires* a magic cookie to allow the remote connection. This seems to be new and should be documented.
After using keygen to create a MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 it works at least for the xterm and also the Xdmx.
You can use all sorts of access control: host based, auth based or si (server interpreted). The only thing is that access control is required for all but local connections. This has been for a while already. In the code I was able to trace this back since XFree86. To get back the 'old' behaviour, you'd need to specify '-ac' along with '-listen tcp' or run 'xhost +' from a local connection. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
