 This issue occurs on Solaris, there is no base X11. Pkgsrc is using
 modular Xorg packages as dependencies - meaning I didn't install Xorg
 to begin with, I did "bmake package" in net/tigervnc and let pkgsrc
 figure out all required dependencies. So x11/xauth was missing and
 looks like it needs to be added as an explicit dependency.
