That's not exactly the problem... the problem has to do with the fact
that the hostname is resolving to localhost as well. I've been
debugging this a bit and am close-ish to a solution... not sure why I
can't reproduce it on linux... but still, if you're interested, I
created a bug report with my current notepad for this issue:

I found the problem!
In my /etc/hostconfig file I had the following line:
HOSTNAME=my_computer_name
It was a remnant from previous Mac OS Xs (probably Panther).
I don't know why, but removing this line cleared the problem with
xauth.
Hmm, curious. I have such a line in hostconfig too. I remember
putting it there under Panther because without it, whenever my laptop
moved to a different network the hostname would change, and all of a
sudden my X server would begin refusing connections. I've kept it
that way since, because I find it extremely annoying that the hostname
would change whenever I connect to a different network. (I run
scripts on login that are shared across a number of hosts, and parts
of those scripts check the hostname to figure out what to do.)
On a different note, I see that there is now a line in /etc/hostconfig
saying "# This file is going away". I sure hope there will be another
way to keep the hostname stable.
