I really didn't join this mailing list to be insulted but to gain knowledge on how to use vnc. As mentioned in my email, I am a Oracle DBA not a Unix admin with knowledge of X servers. I only suggested that the documention which is described as an X server to include info on .Xauthority. If as you suggest, I could expect this be in documentation concerning X authentication in general, would it not be reasonable to assume that the VNC documentation have either some information or reference???
