.serverauth and X.org problem

Hi all,
when i start xorg with startx command xorg generate two errors:
this one is prompted to the console:

Hostaname not found (or something like this)
auth: create new authority file in .serverauth

and the other one is in .serverauth file:

^A^@^@^Hdoralice^@^A0^@^RMIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1^@^P$^GLϨe,1ۨCo^A^@^@^Hdoralice^$

doralice is my hostname. The .serverauth file is created every time i start xorg, at the end of the filename there is a string of four numbers like .serverauth.7520 or .serverauth.3287 etc. This string of numbers is always different so I have my home directory full of .serverauth files -_-.
