[Bug 911] Wishlist: Warn when unable to write .Xauthority
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=911 Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |WORKSFORME --- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> 2008-06-15 11:59:09 --- It is xauth's responsibility to log errors on failure. The standard xorg distribution one certainly does (try "chown root.wheel .Xauthority") and these are visible via the SSH channel. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
