Actually, this raises a good question.  I have a bunch of xauth entries
I cannot remove because xauth says they're bad hostnames.  There doesn't
appear to be any kind of "--force" argument to xauth (i.e, "I don't CARE
if it's invalid, remove it ANYWAY".

Does anyone know a way to completely purge and reinitialize the xauth
database?
