I compared the 6.9 startx script to the one installed by the 7.2
x11/xinit port. I found that the older script contained a block of code
that fixes the problem described above. In the x11/xinit port the code
is present in startx.cpp, but is protected by:
#if defined(HAS_COOKIE_MAKER) && defined(MK_COOKIE)
...
#endif
If these defines are set properly during the build, then startx should
return to its previous behavior. I have verified this by using the 6.9
script (with paths changed) on a system that has 7.2 installed.
From /usr/local/lib/X11/config/FreeBSD.cf:
#if OSMajorVersion >= 4
#define HasCookieMaker YES
#define MkCookieCmd \
'dd if=/dev/urandom bs=16 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -e
\\"%08x\\"'
#else
#define HasCookieMaker NO
#endif
#endif
Cheers,
Scott
