yep, here's the patch to xauth. I'll roll this in and commit to git as well... I have your updated X11.app in my local package now. If someone could send me a license file or a README, I'd be very happy =) --Jeremy Begin forwarded message:

Unless your X connection is not working, I believe you can safely ignore that error message.
Well, more to the point for me... why does this happen? It certainly shouldn't, and I've done everything I can to eliminate the message. You can't eliminate it, I suspect. ssh is running the command xauth list $DISPLAY (e.g. xauth list /tmp/launch-blah/:0) and xauth is generating the output xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "/tmp/launch-blah/:0" in "list" command I'm not quite sure what the "fix" here is, since the Xauth data probably isn't generated until the X server starts, which won't happen until sshd requests that the forwarding happen -- and I think that may be after the authentication data is transmitted to sshd. Perhaps best would be to simply disable the warning in sshd for Darwin....
... or teach xauth about the weird new display names.
Here is a little patch against xauth-X11R7.2-1.0.2 from X11apps-13 that does this. As before, the warning will only disappear if there is an existing ~/.Xauthority file.
