           Summary: Normal startup leaves X11 open to external users
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.2
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: MacOS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: monnier at iro.umontreal.ca


When starting XDarwin from the Dock, the startup procedure does not seem to
setup an Xauthority cookie but instead it justs uses xhost which leaves the
server open to attacks from other users on the same machine.
