[SuSE Linux] .xserverrc.secure doesn't like me
If I copy .xserverrc.secure to .xserverrc as advised, X fails with these errors: _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running Needless to say, there is no X server already running. 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 <budr@sirinet.net> formerly <budr@tanet.net> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

XFree FAQ's E13 and E14. Change 'exec X' to 'exec Xwrapper'. Amazing what a little reading will do... -- Bud Rogers <budr@sirinet.net> formerly <budr@tanet.net> <A HREF="http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html"><A HREF="http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html</A">http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
