            Bug ID: 213607
           Summary: tigervnc server requires mcookie utility
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

$ vncserver=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
vncserver: couldn't find "mcookie" on your PATH.

and the tigervnc server refuses to start. I can find no mcookie in base or
ports. As a workaround I have

$ cat bin/mcookie=20
#!/bin/sh
dd if=3D/dev/urandom bs=3D1k count=3D1 2>/dev/null | md5 | cut -d ' ' -f 1

which may introduce security issues.
