i would have recommended to use "sux" here instead, but it seems this is not part of opensuse anymore. appropriate feature seems to have been merged in "su", but i don`t find documentation how to use that and/or what option is needed. (man su or info coreutils does not give a hint)

su just did that correctly since sux was dropped. No config was needed (at least not to change anything on the system manually).

...

Setting "xhost +" before using su - and it works. mind that this is dangerous as any user from any ip may spy on your X display now!

I know. I just wanted to point out that it is really an xauth issue and this is just a virtual machine to test anyway. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
