Package: xbase Version: 3.1.2-9 The startx script does not initialize the X Magic Cookies when X is started up. This can be a significant security hole.
I would suggest adding a line like xauth add :0 . `dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 bs=16 | md5sum` to startx (ok, so md5sum is merely the fastest way to get a correctly formatted string - possibly od can be persuaded with the right options, or somebody can write a Perl script). -- Thomas Koenig, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] The joy of engineering is to find a straight line on a double logarithmic diagram.
