Logging in via X in multiple places

[Paul Lussier]

Hi all,

When logging into a UNIX/X system via (g,k,x)dm, said session manager
writes "stuff" to your ~/.Xauthority file using xauth (which seems to
be it's own sort of black magic).

In an environment where your homedirectory is NFS mounted, logging
into multiple systems at their X-based consoles can be problematic,
since each X session is going to clobber your One True ~/.Xauthority
file.

Has anyone here had and/or solved this problem?  And if you've solved
it, please explain how :) I can think of a few different work-arounds,
all of which avoid actually understanding xauth, which, given the user
of mine currently having this problem, might be a good thing :)

Thanks.
