-The authentication modules used are specified using
+Starting with version 4.0, the preferred way of specifying authentication is within the socket option itself, ie for TCP:
+{{{
+xpra start --start=xterm -d auth
+    --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:10000,auth=file:filename=password.txt
+}}}
+So that multiple sockets can use different authentication modules, and those modules can more easily be chained:
+{{{
+xpra start --start=xterm -d auth \
+    --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:10000,auth=hosts,auth=file:filename=password.txt --bind 
+    --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:10001,auth=sys
+}}}

+For older versions, the authentication modules used are specified using
 * {{{--auth=MODULE}}} for unix domain sockets and named pipes
 * {{{--tcp-auth=MODULE}}} for TCP sockets
