Package: xbase-clients Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-13 Severity: minor File: /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth
The 'xauth' command needs an option to disable DNS lookups as in 'route -n'. This is important because it's a very low-level utility - things should be able to depend on 'xauth' without breaking whenever DNS is misconfigured or the network goes down. For instance, I use 'xauth' on my system to allow a daemon running as root to access my display - I still want these kinds of tools to work if there is a network outage, but it looks like xauth has been just hanging when it can't access DNS.
