Yeah. You need to find a copy of Wraphelp.c to use the
XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 xauth protocol. Although, IIUC, the export issue
is no longer valid (this protocol uses DES), Wraphelp.c, which
contains the implementation, is not distributed with the X sources.
Fortunately, it's pretty easy to find a copy. :-)
You should also back up /etc/X11 while you're at it.
