No, I think you are talking about something to do with xauth. I have not
used that before and it looks rather complicated from the man page
descriptions. I have decided to reinstall on that machine since my partner
in crime did a lot of "tinkering" without documentation. It's good for me to
get the practice anyway and since I have no idea where he may have left
something lurking, I probably shouldn't trouble you all with this problem.
At least until I have a clean install and can say for certain what has been
done to it!
