I am not sure what this is, and /.xauth does not
exist, but here is the log:
================================
Summary:

SELinux is preventing su (initrc_su_t) "execute" to ./xauth (xauth_exec_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by su. It is not expected that this 
access is
required by su and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to 
restore
the default system file context for ./xauth,

restorecon -v './xauth'

If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this 
access.
Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - 
see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can 
disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not 
recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.
