Subject:   X xauth problems with DHCP- maybe FBSD settings issue
Message-ID:  <3C2363DD.FCA4EF5C@pythonemproject.com>

I hope you guys can help me.  Its an X question, but I got no response
on their mailing lists.  I'm thinking it might be a FreeBSD settings
glitch:

I noticed that I can't do X forwarding any more using SSH.  It all
happened after I switched to dhcp.

Here is the log of the error during a regular X session:

Script started on Fri Dec 14 18:28:12 2001
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name "c888746-a.attbi.com:0" in "list"
command
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name "c888746-a.attbi.com:0" in "add"
command
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name "c888746-a.attbi.com:0" in "remove"
command

Script done on Fri Dec 14 18:28:40 2001

Here is what "xauth list" tells me:  

c888746-a.attbi.com/unix:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 
e0cae68d99242b............ (dots added)

Notice the /unix in there.  Thats all that I've been able to find that
looks wrong.  Thanks.  Rob.
