Bug#490175: openssh-client: ssh -X can remove :0 entry from .Xauthority

[ryan@tau.solarneutrino.net]

Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.3p2-9etch2
Severity: normal


When using ssh X forwarding, ssh seems to occasionally delete the xauth
entry for :0 (on the ssh-client/X-server machine) when modifying
.Xauthority, which pretty much renders your X session unusable.
Sometimes the :0 entry is restored after a short time.
