The .xserverrc that I used with my previous Slackware system was a simple one-liner: #!/bin/sh exec X :0 -auth $HOME/.Xauthority which fails with the same error. I suspect there is something wrong with the .Xauthority file generated by the .xserver.secure script, but I don't know enough to fix it. I'm not at all comfortable about putting this machine on the net with an open X server. I would appreciate any suggestions about how to fix this. -- Bud Rogers formerly - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e --===============4370648833656775184==-- From budr@sirinet.net Sat Aug 15 18:08:17 1998 From: budr@sirinet.net To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] .xserverrc.secure doesn't like me Date: Sat, 15 Aug 1998 13:08:17 -0500 Message-ID: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============4720806767776578423==" --===============4720806767776578423== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Bud Rogers writes: > If I copy .xserverrc.secure to .xserverrc as advised, X fails with these > errors: >=20 >=20 > _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed > _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running XFree FAQ's E13 and E14.
