- The simple answer is to type 'xhost +' on your linux box (or 'xhost
- <machine>') where <machine> is the name of the system that you want to
- authorize to connect to your box.
-
- Of course, this will allow everyone (+) or everyone on a certain system
- (machine) to pop up games, nude pictures of cockroaches, or highly
- revealing poetry that you wrote in elementary school on your display. It is
- usually better to use X with authority (which basically means only you can
- use your display); look for a good book, or try and pull up a man page for
- xmkcookie on a slightly more complete system. (which stands for
- x-make-cookie, as having authority is referred to as "having the magic
- cookie")
-
- Do we even support authority or xmkcookie yet? I haven't really looked, as
- I don't have the ability to get my box on a network.
