Description

/usr/bin/xauth: file /home/vagrant/.Xauthority does not exist is shown when vagrant ssh-ing. Solved it by running touch /home/vagrant/.Xauthority, which seems to stop it from showing up. No idea if that's a proper solution.

It's actually created by xauth when it shows that error message.

The file is indeed filled with something, that I didn't put there. I'll close this as invalid, assuming the issue doesn't pop up all the time like before.

It happens once per vagrant install. If you want to add a puppet rule for creating the file, feel free; IMO it is not worth the effort.
