Subject: I was having an xauth error about the hexkey not found this is
myfix for it
I just had to redo this part
# set up default Xauth info for this machine
case `uname` in
Linux*)
if [ -z "`hostname --version 2>&1 | grep GNU`" ]; then
hostname=`hostname -f`
else
hostname=`hostname`
fi
;;
*)
hostname=`hostname`
;;
esac
authdisplay=${display:-:0}
mcookie=`dd if=/dev/random bs=16 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -e
\\"%08x\\"`
if x"$mcookie" = x; then
echo "Couldn't create cookie"
exit 1
fi
To this
# set up default Xauth info for this machine
authdisplay=${display:-:0}
mcookie=`dd if=/dev/urandom bs=16 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -e
\\"%08x\\"`
for displayname in $authdisplay `hostname`$authdisplay; do
if ! xauth list "$displayname" | grep "$displayname " >/dev/null
2>&1; then
xauth add $displayname . $mcookie
removelist="$displayname $removelist"
fi
done
xinit $client $clientargs -- $server $display $serverargs
and it seems to work for me doesn't complain about the magic cookie not
being found anymore
