Yes, I see: it doesnt' work.   ;-)

I get an error (after typing in the password):

   'bash: line 63: xauth: command not found'
   'Connection to localhost closed.'


Here are a few obvious bugs:

1. the "-V" as hinted at in the "--help" statement for verbose output 
   should be a "-v"

2. "--verbose" doesnt seem to work at all (unimplemented?).

3. the scripts has two declarations for the cleanup() function
   (lines 318 and 419.

4. I have a grep version 2.4.2 which doesnt understand "--line-buffered"
   nor "--unbuffered"

Cheers,
Kurt
