https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=262309 ------- Comment #19 from eich@novell.com 2007-04-26 14:46 MST ------- The orignal bug was #98627. This doesn't include the Xtranssock.c stuff which was later on added by Dirk Mueller. The change has not been readily accepted. I may give it another go. The discussion on this issue can be found here http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-arch/2005-August/000200.html One thing that was suggested was to use server interpreted local user authentication: xhost +si:localuser:$(whoami) The patch above looks correct. It's merely impossible to add the host check. Moving this test up in the function chain would not allow to pass the XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME value down to XauGetBestAuthByAddr(). The check for an empty host part is to distinguish :0 from unix:0 I'm no longer sure why I did this as in the version that I had proposed upstream this is no longer there as i use the hostname part if available instead of the environment variable. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
