Fw: BgRegister X server insecure - newbie

I am trying to use this code example from the FAQ to insure that my X
server is enabled to use the X authority file is and distributing the
display's key to the client hosts. But the example is for SUN, I am on aix:

 if [ ! \( -d $HOME -a -w $HOME \) ]; then
   echo "Warning: Can't write X authority file" 1>&2 ;
   auth_args=""
 else
   authfname=$HOME/.xnews.`uname -n`$DISPLAY
   ${OPENWINHOME}/lib/mkcookie $authfname -auth magic-cookie
   auth_args="-auth $authfname"
 fi ;
 ${OPENWINHOME}/bin/xnews $auth_args $server_args $xnews_config_args ;;


on aix, there is no mkcookie command. Anyone know how to do that line on
aix?

Paul,

Have you read all of FAQ 4 (not just 4b) from a current FAQ
(eg., http://beedub.com/exmh/exmh-faq.html)?

I don't use AIX but I have managed to use do use exmh with the background
process enabled on Linux and Solaris and against Cygwin/X on Windows XP.

It generally is a simple manner of insuring that your X server is enabled
to use
the X authority file and distributing the display's key to the client
hosts.

Hi,

I am sure this has been covered before, but I cannot find a fix.

I keep seeing these msgs:
 BgRegister X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization);
 command ignored

 exmh-bg cannot rendez-vous with UI - exiting.
 Usually this is because Tk send is not working.

I looked at FAQ 4b, but I am still not sure what to do. Can anyone help?

exmh version 2.6.3
os: aix 5.2

thanks.....
