Hi,
Insecure xauth usage has lead to a few security bugs recently fixed in
Debian. Man page warnings may guide users/developers toward more secure
usages. See attached patch for a possible solution.
This is also debian bug #635109: http://bugs.debian.org/635109.
Please cc me on replies as I'm not subscribed to this list.
Best wishes,
Mike
