Yes but it is unfair to another person who uses the machine. I sometime leave
X on without loging off. My friend just hit Control-Alt-F{1,2,3} and logon
without killing my X session. I just don't understand why xauth is
not able to generate the correct key and xhost not disabling the display
correctly. Please help.
