Hi,
I understand what 'xhost +' does.
... hmmm, no offense meant but if you really would understand what "xhost +" does then you would know that an "xhost +localhost" would be the better way if you refuse to use "sux"...
The problem is that that doesn't work First of all, "xhost +localhost" doesn't work in suse 9.1, since X doesn't use tcp by default Second, from a security standpoint, "xhost +" and "xhost +local:" do equivalent damage Third, even that doesn't work at all. A bug in (I think) gtk means that if authentication is turned on at all in X, firefox (and the rest of the mozilla series) will fail (if and only if it is the first time you run it, the problem is with the 'import settings' dialog that gets shown the first time you run it). sux fails because of this, sadly
