Why is that? Is it insecure? It is so usefull I can't imagine getting along without it... -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
Locate is reputed to be insecure. I use slocate, and got that from an old RedHat distro. You should be able to get slocate from rpmfind. Unlike locate, slocate accepts a regular expression as an arguement. On my 8.0 Pro distro locate is on CD1 group a2 findutils-locate. I have made a complete listing of every package with a list of the the files therein for all 7 CDs of the 8.0 Pro distro. I find it a great convenience. Unfortunately it is 56 MB ( yes 56 000 KB ) long, so I cannot easily distribute it. However it is easy to generate from a simple shell script and rpm. Hope this helps Basil Fowler On Thursday 29 May 2003 01:31, John Andersen wrote:

root does not have automatic access to the X server. The easiest way in SuSE is to use "sux -" instead of su. HTH, Jeffrey
Jerome, I assume you've logged in as an unpriveliged user and used su to get to root. If so, use sux instead. If not post again. Damian Jerome Lyles wrote:

You might want to use 'sux' rather than 'su -'. It seems you logged in as your self either in XDM or from console then ran startx. That means X is running for your user. If you in a terminal su to root, root does not automatically get privileges to talk to your X server. 'sux' is a command that will sort out the X side for you when su'ing to root.
How do I fix this?
HTH,
