Again, without specifics I can't help too much, but look at 'xhost' and 'xauth' to see how you can handle X authentication. I can't offer much more help, because I don't use it much here. On Monday 26 March 2001 2:19 pm, Alan Davies wrote:
If you are running an Xserver with
export DISPLAY=WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZZ:0.0
it is possible to use another user's display to make your tasks appear there - simply by using their IP address.
This could be useful - but it can also be annoying when some abuse it.
How can it be prevented?
