Hello kind souls,
I've installed the latest Cygwin & XFree86 ; the Cygwin utilities & shells themselves run fine, as does the XFree86 X-server - that is, the twm window manager starts up alright, but when the first (or any thereafter) xterm window announces its position and I click to accept, it vanishes again instantly. After some digging around I found the '-hold' option, and when I use this I can see that before refusing any further interaction, the xterm window displays the message "setuid failed: Permission denied". This happens only for xterm's that I try to open from my own machine; when I do an "xhost +", and open an xterm on another machine with display to my machine, it works ok. I did set my CYGWIN env. variable to "ntsec ntea", chown'ed xterm.exe to 'Administrator' and chgrp'ed it to 'Administrators' (my own account is 'fputte', not a local one but a domain account), and did a "chmod ugo+sx xterm.exe" but all that didn't help either. I'm probably overlooking something, but I have read the XFree FAQ, I've searched the mailing list archives and did a Google-search, but nothing seems relevant. Any advice ? rgds, Florimon van Putte PS: My config: HP Vectra PIII/500Mhz 128 Mb, NT 4/SP6 System Developer, CMG Telecom (a division of CMG Noordwest-Nederland B.V.)
