  12. Hi;
  13.      I wanted to set the XAUTHORITY file to some other file name (other than .Xauthority
  14. in my home directory). So I set the env variable XAUTHORITY to the file name which
  15. I wanted. But after that, when I start Openwindows, all my clients are refused connection.
  16. Am I missing some important point ?
  17. (and what the heck is mkcookie program of OW which is executed by openwin script ?)
  18.  
  19. Vinayak.
