Invokes the X Authority utility (xauth) that you can use to manage the
contents of one or more X authority files. The X authority file
contains information used to authorize client connections to the X
display server.
This utility is typically used to extract authorization records from
one system and combine them with the records on another system, such as
when granting access to additional users or enabling remote logins. The
actual record entries vary depending on the authorization scheme
currently in use.
In contrast to other X Window System utilities that are available with
DECwindows Motif, xauth is included as a part of OpenVMS Alpha and
OpenVMS I64 operating systems. The xauth commands are case-insensitive
and available directly from the DCL command line, xauth command line,
or from a batch file.
For a complete description of xauth, see the DECwindows Motif
documentation (available on the Documentation CD-ROM) or the xauth
online help.
