Hello,

I am trying to use the X11R4 xauthority on a network of Visual X-19's
running ROM Version 2.5, but I don't know how to get the server to read
the .Xauthority file in a person's home directory.  Xauthority works
great on the SUN's, but with them the server can be started to use
.Xauthority files.

I thought that if I ran xdm on the Visual X-19's then I could use
xauthority.  Unfortunately this isn't working because xdm thinks the
Visual X-19's are not secure.

Is it possible to run xauthority on Visual X-19's by themselves?  If
not, can it be done with xdm?  What special things do I need to do to
make it work?

thanx,
Bryan
