  Um, I thought there was no user-based authentication, only host-based
  or magic-value-based.

You are behind the times, Mouse.  The sample implementation now has
two user-based authentication schemes.  X11R5 introduced SUN-DES-1,
based on Sun's secure RPC.  X11R6 introduced MIT-KERBEROS-5, based on
Kerberos 5's user-to-user authentication.
