This establishes, maybe when NAT is activated or when it's set as DNS server, a fake domain, ""fritz.box"". The hostname command therefore seems to return ""hostname.fritz.box"". When the startx @1.3.2 script passes this name to xauth, xauth assumes a fully qualified domain name – and this needs to have the attribute /unix added to the hostname, according to the documentation. The proper cure seems to be in checking whether hostname returns a name with ""."". If true, then with cut or awk the first component can be extracted and used later on... This effect only happens on PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11. On PPC Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.8, hostname returns hostnames.local, so no problem. On intel Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6.8, ""hostname.fritz.box"" produces no problem. ",defect,closed,Normal,,ports,2.0.4,wontfix,,,xinit
