Each new X-Session uses what? The script /usr/bin/newcookie?
So for each session an .Xauthority file is created?
Where do I put a command like
xhost zebra
Is .xserverrc in fact ~/.xserverrc ?
I thought under xdm the X server is not restarted at every login
(unless I specify this explicitly).
So then how is the script below read at every X session?
Thanks for your help
