Hello,
Yes I've googled around, but didn't find the perfect solution.
I want to connect to X11 via a shh tunnel and then do a "su -
non-root-user".
What is the best way to save the cookie?
$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
$ xauth list | grep ':10'
xserver/unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 12345678901234567896012345678901
$ su - non-root
Password:
$ export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
How to get the cookie to the new user with xauth merge?
The real problem, how to do it automaticly.
Should I protect the cookie against other users? Or can I just copy it
to /tmp to be read by the su-user?
