Okay, that's just plain awesome. BUT! There's no man page for `sux'. Where is the documentation on how this is supposed to work? What's happening? Is it using magic cookies or what?
It's a shell script SuSE hacked together. The "documentation" lies in looking at the script code :) Basically it takes the MIT Magic Cookie from the user that started X, and pipes it over to the user you're su:ing to, and merges it into that user's Xauthority file
