Hi,
I'm brand new to Cygwin (and X in general) and would appreciate some
help understanding how to set up authentication with
XDM-AUTHENTICATION-1. I'm running the latest Cygwin/XFree86 release and
connecting to an HP AlphaServer running OpenVMS. The XDM for OpenVMS
supports the XDM-AUTHENTICATION-1 method, but the docs fail to mention
anything about how the keys are generated. Does the sysadmin simply
make up some numbers, or is there a tool for generating a specific key
format?
First of all, does Cygwin support this method? If so, I guess the next
thing I need to know is how and where the key is supposed to be stored
on the system running Cygwin/XFree. FInally, what command-line
parameters are available to pass the key value to the XDM?
Many thanks in advance,
Alder
