According to Wierdl Mate:

Well, that nice, bu only the User will have the enviroenement. I make
all this in /etc/X11/xdm Directory:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^Hmmm... Big Security Breach. Why not Create a .Xauthority
file in $HOME ??? I use the following Script for this. Each new
X-Session uses it:
--------------------------------------Cut------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# /usr/bin/newcookie
# started in .xserverrc - Xserver startup file
#
HOST=`hostname`
authfile="${XAUTHORITY-$HOME/.Xauthority}"
chmod 600 "${authfile}"
gencookie='
# generate random cookie from portable shell tools
( ps -ael ; netstat -n ) |
compress |
tr "\100-\377" "\007-\077\001-\077\001-\077\001-\077" |
tr "\001-\077" "9a-f0-9a-f0-9a-f0-9a-f0-9" |
fold -32 |
awk "{ l1=l2; l2=l3; l3=l4; l4=\$0; } END { print l1 }"
'
COOKIE="`eval \"$gencookie\"`"
case "$COOKIE" in
????????????????????????????????) ;; # length is ok
*) echo "illegal cookie made!? please verify $0" >&2; exit 1 ;;
esac
xauth add :0 . "$COOKIE"
xauth add ${HOST}:0 . "$COOKIE"
--------------------------------------Cut------------------------------
Ok, its a bad Hack, but it works :) If the Homedirectoreis are mounted
by NFS, it#s absolutely no Problem in using these, since the
.Xauthority file exists in the Homedir. Else, you'll hve to ftp the
current .Xauthority file before you start a Programm from the Remote
Host on your Display.

OK. Could be included there too.

Correct :)
