[ale] fetchmail auth failure with yahoo

[Dow Hurst]

First off, xhost is the mechanism used by IRIX, however, it isn't used
by Linux.  Xauth is used by Linux.  So the xhost isn't necessary.  The
permission for X display is on the Chinaberry Linux system side since it
is the Xserver.  You need to have the Xauth key from Almost merged into
your Chinaberry side of the connection.  The xterm is the client and the
Xserver is running on Chinaberry and requires the proper authorization
from Almost.
