Are you really sure you need host-based access control in X?
Well, I need to be able to run programs with different KDE libs than the ones running the desktop. So I login as my normal user, do development work, then su to a "test" user where I setup the environment appropriate for running development stuff.
IMHO, you can use "sux - test" or "sux test". It works on my machine. -- A.M.

I tried it after the last email too. I didn't know about sux before 9.0. Is it more secure than xhost? -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Yes. It uses the ~/.Xauthority file, see man Xsecurity. "xauth list" lists the content of .Xauthority in a human readable format. -- A.M.
