Using "xhost +local:" is fairly safe, especially for a personal computer.
Before SuSE 10 (or was it before 9.3?) you had to use sux or adjust the X server access control. Now you can just use su.
So you're saying that in SuSE 10, and maybe 9.3, you can now use su interchangeably with sux, or am I reading too much into your statement?
If there's a difference, I'm unaware of it. To my knowledge, sux is obviated by some change 10.0 or 9.3. I rarely use either 'cause I keep a couple of tabs open in my Konsole that are always running a root shell.
Thanks, Greg Wallace
