I've got a program that calls XOpenDisplay(NULL), and when under Open-
Windows 2.0 on the same machine, fails with:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to server
and on the console:
XNeWS Network security violation
Rejected connection from: balstrode
(balstrode is the name of my machine, DISPLAY is ":0".) My application is
not OW-specific, and I've compiled with the X11R4 libraries and with the OW
libraries with the same result. xauth returns:
balstrode.natinst.com:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 5fac750a7b98f1d657442d62f3b029ae
balstrode/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 5fac750a7b98f1d657442d62f3b029ae
I know I can subvert this in a variety of ways, including starting
openwin with "-noauth", or by doing "xhost balstrode", but I'd rather
figure out what my program should be doing to authenticate itself to the
server.
I've looked at other programs that seem to have no problems working
from my machine, and I don't see anything they're doing that's different.
I'll keep looking, though.
Please mail me your responses. I'll summarize if there's interest.
Thanks in advance.
