Standard suse rpms:

tk-8.3.3-23

Actually, xserver security is only important when using tcl/tk "send"=20
facility. The tk driver uses it in the inicial link setup.

Using the command "xhost" disables a secure xserver:

[jcard@feup] xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
[jcard@feup] wish
%

OK, now from another xterm:

bash-2.05# wish
% send wish "set tk_version"
X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command ignored
%

[jcard@feup] ./x01c -dev tk
Plplot library version: 5.1.0
X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command ignored
    while executing
"send $client "set server_name [list $server_name]""
    (procedure "plserver_link_init" line 25)
    invoked from within
"plserver_link_init"
    (procedure "plserver_init" line 85)
    invoked from within
"plserver_init"


using "xhost -" sets the xserver secure again (if it was secure before)

[jcard@feup] xhost -
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
[jcard@feup] ./x01c -dev tk
Plplot library version: 5.1.0

Don't know if this help.
Olof, are you still with problems?

Joao
