[Sunhelp] DISPLAY variable

Hi All,

before changing the DISPLAY variable (on Solaris 2.x) I have to use the xauth 
command and the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIES.

Is there a more simple way to handle this problem.

e.g. turn off the MIT security mode and work with xhost+ and /etc/.Xn.hosts

Or shouldn't I do this because of a security hole.

Thanks for Your answers
Martin Walter
