where to RTFM: Allowing remote X?
Hi, all.
I often have to debug X-based apps for my users. In order to be able to
run the app as the user, I need to be able to accept X connections on my
desktop from their account on some other machine. On non-Debian systems,
I've always been able to do the old quick and dirty "xset +<hostname>"
to allow clients run by other users to connect to my server; but on any
Debian system I've used, this doesn't work.
I assume that I need to do some xauth magic but I don't know what. The
xauth manpage doesn't help (or it does but it's wasted on me...).
I recognize that xset is a security hole, but is there some way to turn
that functionality back on? Or, what's the "right" way to do what I
want, using xauth or whatever?
Thanks,
-mrj
