Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.2.ds2-2
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Hello,
When starting X with startx:
The client Xauthority file can be chosen via the $XAUTHORITY env var
but not the server one which is hardcoded as following:
xserverauthfile=$HOME/.serverauth.$$
xauth -q -f $xserverauthfile << EOF
add :$dummy . $mcookie
EOF
serverargs=${serverargs}" -auth "${xserverauthfile}
So even if I provide a ~/.xserverrc with "-auth /..." it's overwritten.
Please provide a way to be able to also specify where to put the server
file, e.g. an env var XSERVERAUTHPATH or even XSERVERAUTHFILE,
or test first if a "-auth" option already exists in the ${serverargs}
(so from ~/.xserverrc) before assigning a new value to $xserverauthfile
My basic motivation, except for symmetry, is that my home directory is
on a filesystem which doesn't allow file locking (namely encfs) so I
want to be able to store the file somewhere else.
Thanks
Phil
