>Description:

xauth stopped working for me. I can not make remote hosts display on my
Xserver any more w/o using xhost.

I'm not 100% sure when this started to happen, and if it's a problem of the
Xserver host or the X client. I *think* it started when I updated the
client host to XFree4.4.

>How-To-Repeat:

xauth extract - $DISPLAY | ssh (somehost) xauth merge -
ssh (somehost)
xterm -display (orig display)

>Fix:
n/a
