Does anyone know the purpose of the file .ICEauthority that is generated in your home directory when you log into CDE in an NIS environment?
 
used for authentication between two XWindows servers, it does not transmit information, rather it protects your X windows server from being tampered with by defining an access list of what clients/hostnames are allowed access your server, and most of the time that list only contains your local hostname.
