IBM personnel readily get it to work with just one of the suggested schemes for transferring the cookie. Most fail either because the hostnames are not translated ASCII<->EBCDIC or because the binary information is translated when it should not be.
IBM feels that if one of the several documented schemes works that should suffice; they may have taken a SUG APAR on the rest. I hate EBCDIC. I suppose you might call it a deficiency in xauth for being ASCII-centric; the XAUTH authors apparently didn't feel that way. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
