Security - HP zx2000 Supplementary Manual

configuring an X Server on HP-UX

security

This entire section was copied from the XFree86 Xserver(1) manual page.
A security file must be placed somewhere on the system and loaded from the command line
using the –sp option. The remainder of this section details the format and use of the security file.
The syntax of the security policy file is as follows. Notation: "*" means zero or more occurrences
of the preceding element, and "+" means one or more occurrences. To interpret <foo/bar>, ignore
the text after the /; it is used to distinguish between instances of <foo> in the next section.
<policy file>
<version line>
<other line >
<comment>
<blank line>
<site policy>
<access rule>
<property>
<window>
<required property>
<property with value> ::= <property/rpv> = <string/rv>
<perms>
<operation>
<action>
<string>
<dbl quoted string>
<single quoted string>::= <space> ' <not squote>* ' <space>
<unquoted string>
<space>
Character sets:
<not newline>::= any character except '\n'
<not dqoute> ::= any character except "
<not squote> ::= any character except '
<not space>
The semantics associated with the above syntax are as follows.

Security Section Syntax
Description
The first line in the file, specifies the file format version. If the server does
not recognize the version <string/v>, it ignores the rest of the file. The
version string for the file format described here is "version-1". Once past
the <version line>, lines that do not match the above syntax are ignored.
These lines are ignored.
