Use the XAUTH -f ADD command to manually create an X authority file. You must manually create an X authority file for the server when enabling authentication outside of a DECwindows Motif session. You can also choose to create additional user X authority files to store alternate authentication settings, such as for authorizing untrusted network connections. An X authority file name can consist of any characters currently supported by OpenVMS; however, the file extension is restricted to a maximum of 37 characters and version numbers are not allowed. The -f option specifies the name of the X authority file, and the ADD command creates the file by adding an entry. If you do not enter a fully-qualified filename, the new X authority file is written to the current directory by default. For example, the following command creates a new X authority file UNTRUSTED.DECW$XAUTH to be used to authorize untrusted network connections: $ XAUTH -f UNTRUSTED.DECW$XAUTH ADD :0 . cfcc5ef98f9718f90154f355c0ae9f62
