Hi!

I've been playing around xauth a little just now, and I'm a bit
curious about the 'generate' command.

I've been able to do about what I want with this command:

file=`mktemp /tmp/xauthXXXXXX`
xauth -f "$file" generate :0 . untrusted timeout 120

However, having to store the cookie to a file and then just fetch it,
transmit it and delete the file again feels a bit awkward. Isn't it
possible to just get the cookie on stdout?

Also, I have some questions about some of the options. Is it possible
to get one-shot cookies? Where can I get information about how
application groups work?

Thanks for your time!

Fredrik Tolf
