This enable all programs to have access that are using unix domain sockets to not need the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE stored in the .Xauthority file in the users home directory so any user can open a program on that display. xhost +localhost adds all programs from localhost using tcp connections instead. DISPLAY=:0 causes a program to use fast unix domain sockets where DISPLAY=localhost:0 causes a program to use slow tcp sockets instead. tcp sockets are really only needed for remote connections and xhost +localhost won't allow any local programs to access X unless they use tcp, not unix. See my first response for more information.
ok time out :) 1)does xhost set the DISPLAY variable ?
No. You have export the variable yourself. xhost allows you to grant or deny access to others. A user who has access and wishes to connect may set his DISPLAY variable to the corresponding DISPLAY.
2)does xhost local: also uses the tcp thingie or use it the x socket thingie ?
I think xhost local: allows access to BSD sockets, so not tcp.
3)what must i put in the .Xauthority file to make the screensaver work with having to use xhost ? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
