I found out that "mcookie" generates magic cookies for xauth, but I do not
have the mcookie command in FreeBSD, though it exists on my Debian Etch
system and is part of the util-linux package. If I can find mcookie or a
command that is analogous to it in FreeBSD, I might be able to fix this
problem:

From what I've read at http://www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/mcookie1.html:
mcookie generates a 128-bit random hexadecimal number for use with the
X authority system. Typical usage:
xauth add :0 . 'mcookie'
Therefore, you should be able to use any random 128-bit hex number
instead of mcookie.
I'm not sure how secure it would be, but it should work just fine.
Cheers
Federico
