If you want to grant global access for another machine to use your display,
use the xhost command: xhost amidala
There is a nice little command called xhost which allows you to
specifiy from which machines users are allowed to run X
applications.
So this alters the Magic Cookie stuff. If you type:
xhost +mymachine
where mymachine is the hostname of the computer you are
currently typing at, then no matter

Considering it is my laptop and I am the only user, I'm not all that

That is right. According to the HOWTO I read a while ago, hackers can overflow
the
buffers to lock the keyboard
and mouse. The standard way is to use the Xauthority to generate a cookie to the
client.
But if on a private network, xhost + will just do. :)

Why not? There are other methods of protecting the X port than Xauth.

Hi Folks,
No one answered my post, but I figured it outAs I stated below, my /etc
file was overwritten by an earlier version. I took a look at ld.so.conf
