And that man page is as obtuse as any I've seen. I have succeeded in getting it to list whats in the .Xauthority file, but the syntax to 'add' seems beyond the man page writers ability to explain or define. The output of the list command locally would appear to be a 3 line format, with an ipv6 address leading off the middle line in the local file, and the same . generated MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE completing each line. Apparently I have blacklisted enough ipv6 on that machine that only the MAC address is being shown by an ifconfig. Here, an xauth list spits out: [gene@coyote ~]$ xauth list coyote.coyote.den:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 4a42e1926ce6b188504f8b037d05d216 [fe80::21f:c6ff:fe62:fcbb]:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 4a42e1926ce6b188504f8b037d05d216 coyote.coyote.den/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 4a42e1926ce6b188504f8b037d05d216 The ipv6 address is what an ifconfig spits out for this machine. Its there but I have no clue if it works. The 'shop' box doesn't have ipv6 disabled, and it shows inet6 addr: fe80::3a60:77ff:fe4e:381b/64 Scope:Link in the ifconfig output. A ping6 fe80::3a60:77ff:fe4e:381b doesn't work, acts like a syntax error, and of course there is no man page for ping6. Figures... According to 'man ping' there are switches to make it use ipv6 stuff, but when you try them, its all unk host errors. If they want this ipv6 crap to go live about 100 days from now, there is going to be a lot of gored oxen around with the "its all a big secret" manpages we have now. I have a help request posted to the xorg list, we'll see what they say.
