RE: [MLUG] Xauth help - fedora

["Woodsmall, Ryan \(IATS\)" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

GDM might actually be using the values from your XDM setup (normally stored in /etc/X11/xdm or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm); it used to do this anyway, not sure about newer versions.

You might also use the 'gdmconfig' program if you haven't already to see if there's anything there that might help you.

Possible. The forest option in ps shows /usr/X11R6/bin/X to be called from 
gdm-binary, which is in turn called from prefdm.

It seems intuitive that gdm-binary uses gdm.conf. There is nothing of 
relevance in prefdm.

Nah. This is on the system level, not user level. Tried it anyway, no luck.

Nothing useful. Could it be "hardwired" in the gdm-binary?

Workaround: I can open a remote terminal with ssh -Y <remote host> xterm
However, this does not work for all systems. For example, there is an IRIX box 
I'd like to connect to where it still complains it couldn't open 
128.206.....:0.0 display.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Mark
