Trouble in accessing `/home/USERNAME/.Xauthority'

[Hamed Abdy]

To NoOp:

"$ locate .Xauthority" does nothing.
$ ls -l ~/.Xauthority
ls: cannot access /home/hamed/.Xauthority: No such file or directory
$ ls -l /root/.Xauthority
ls: cannot access /root/.Xauthority: Permission denied

To Tom H:

Thank you.
So, what is the solution?

To Colin Law:

Security is so important for me.
Specially I heard that when you are using torrent, using firewall is necessary.
