[Aces-support] ao .Xauthority

[Alan Condron]

Hi
I'm getting this error when I log in:

/usr/bin/xauth:  error in locking authority file /home/acondron/.Xauthority

If I do ls -a I see
-rw-------  1 acondron aces      2604 Aug  6 11:16 .Xauthority
-rw-------  2 acondron aces         0 Aug  6 11:20 .Xauthority-c
-rw-------  2 acondron aces         0 Aug  6 11:20 .Xauthority-l
-rw-------  1 acondron aces      2651 Aug  6 11:20 .Xauthority-n

Prior to this I was changing my password on AO using yppasswd
I then accidentally typed startx while logged in to AO as this is what I 
use on my machine in Cygwin to bring up an Xterm.
And tried to kill a few processes, one of whihc with .Authen (or 
something similar) I think this may have been the problem?

Is it just a case of deleting these files?
Hope you can help
Call me if its easier: 508-289-3808
Thanks
Alan
