Protecting your ~/.fastx_server/ directory
Your ~/.fastx_server/ directory contains sensitive information which could expose your X11 connections to others.
This could lead to a compromise of your account, and/or unauthorized keystroke monitoring. Therefore, please take care
in protecting access to this directory . The SCS tool "system ranger" will detect and fix any ~/.fastx_server/ directories
in AFS space which are too permissive, and you will get an information email just letting you know it was fixed. If
necessary, the system ranger will remove the following entries from the Access Control List:
system:anyuser rl
system:slac rl
system:authuser rl
