Hello, I'm new to the list, so sorry if it is a very common question: How can I allow access to the x server to root, Im getting an error message when trying to install a program that uses that server, as root. Thanks a lot.

The temporary way to do it is to run "xhost +" or "xhost +root" in the user's shell (not root's shell). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer david@thekramers.net http://thekramers.net DK KD DKK D "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that."

Or use "sux" instead of "su" to switch users. Henne -- Hendrik Vogelsang aka Henne mailto: hvogel<at>hennevogel.de Your mom and dad will have to call kindly doctor so-and-so to dig up your dental records, because there won't be much left of your face. # random sigs made with fortune
