Ok, nevermind I figured it out...
For those of you whowant to know:
I managed to do this after reading the xauth man page about 5 times...
% xauth extrac - my.vnc.server.host.com:1.0 > ~/tmpauth
This takes the X auth entry for my VNC display my.vnc.server.host.com:1.0 from
my ~/.Xauthority file and writes it into a temporary files I called ~/tmpauth
Then I 'su - otheruser' and add this X auth entry to the other users ~/.Xauthority
file.
% cat ~username/tmpauth | xauth merge -
This will create a ~otheruser/.Xauthority file if one does not already exist
and basically gives otheruser permission to create Xwindows in my 'username'
VNC servers display :1.0.
I think you only need todo this once and the other user can then create Xwindows
in my primary users VNC server that uses disaply :1.0 forever. Now I can do
'xhost -' and still create windows logged in as otheruser. I bit more secure
than using 'xhost +'
Thanks for the help guys!
