Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult 71b207a2eb os: drop SUN-DES-1 authentication
DES isn't considered secure anymore for long time now, more and more platforms
dropping DES from their RPC implementations, and even the one where it came
from (Solaris) disabled it for a decade now. We have much better alternatives
(eg. passing creds via Unix socket for local connections, ssh tunneling,
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1, ...), so it's unlikely anybody still really relying on it.

Therefore, sweep it out.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list:
