Hello,
Trying to securing my X server beyond my pf conf, and sorry if I do
again the compliments to the quality of the X engineering (well beyond
OpenBSD devs effort, at X origins).
'man X' says:
ACCESS CONTROL
An X server can use several types of access control. Mechanisms
provided in Release 7 are:
Host Access Simple host-based access control.
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 Shared plain-text "cookies".
XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 Secure DES based private-keys.
SUN-DES-1 Based on Sun's secure rpc system, etc
Launching:
# xauth -f .XauthorityDan generate :0.0 HOST ACCESS
I get the following error about the erroneous protocol name:
SecurityBadAuthorizationProtocol (invalid authorization name or data)
xauth: (argv):1: couldn't generate authorization
Indeed, I grasped that "Host Access" is wrong in man.
So I'm here to ask the protocol token to pass to xauth to use
host access control mechanism.
Thanks, appreciated.
