Re: BgRegister X server insecure - newbie

OK, After piecing together suggestions from a few emails, I finally got
this working. Here is what I did on aix.5.2

put these 2 lines in my .profile and .xinitrc files:
  export  DISPLAY=`hostname`:0
  export  XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority

cleaned out my .Xauthority file as such;
  xauth list
I deleted all the items it listed like this:
  xauth remove name1 name2 ......

I restearted X and I saw there was no cookie for my display in the xauth
file, hmmm not sure why, it should have been created automaticly. So I
created it manually as shown here:

generated 2 new xauth cookies;
  xauth generate MyHostname.abc.com/unix:0  .  timeout  0
  xauth generate MyHostname.abc.com:0  .  timeout  0

stopped X
started X like this:
    xinit  --  -auth  $XAUTHORITY

started exmh, works fine now, no more xserver error messages!

I am not sure if it was one item or multiple items that fixed it, I just
took the shotgun approach.

Thanks eveyone for all your help......paul
