Anton Yuzhaninov <citrin+pr@citrin.ru> has reassigned Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to x11@FreeBSD.org: Bug 221984: x11-servers/xorg-server: enable SECURITY extension https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D221984 --- Description --- Created attachment 185979 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D185979&action= =3Dedit enable SECURITY X server extension Attached patch enables SECURITY extension for X server. This will allow 'ssh -X' to work. Currently ssh -X fails, because 'xauth generate' can't grab au= th data from running X server. This extension is enabled in xorg package for many (may be most) Linux dist= ros. As I know it was disabled by default in xorg when XACE was added. But XACE = is not fully replaces SECURITY extension: "In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, the X Security extension (XC-SECURITY) has = been disabled and replaced by X Access Control Extension (XACE). However, XACE d= oes not yet include functionality that was previously available in XC-SECURITY. With this update, XC-SECURITY is enabled in the xorg-x11-server spec file on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6." [1] 1. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/ht= ml/6 .5_Technical_Notes/xorg-x11-server.html I've not tested this change with slave ports, so in my patch I've added this option only for ${SLAVE_PORT} =3D=3D "no".
