I'm trying to convince some DEC VXT 2000 X terminals to give me
user-level authentication (i.e. MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1, or better yet,
XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1).

I'm using the VXT 1.1 software, which seems to say that it can't be
done.  However, doing a 'strings' on the server binary turns up
strings such as 'MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1' and 'XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1',
implying that the code is, in fact, there.

I am assuming what's happening is that the VXT is disabling security by
sending empty Authentication Name and Authentication Data fields in
its XDMCP Request packet, though I don't know that this is the case.

Interestingly enough, my .Xauthority does get a new magic-cookie upon
each login, but the X display is clearly only paying attention to
xhost level stuff.

Any clues on how to make this work would be much appreciated.
