Hi,
I can only use cygwin/X as an administrator. (see below)Now I saw that all the files in /usr/X11R6/bin are only executable for members of the group "Users " . But when I look into /etc/passwd I see that no one is member of "Users" just of "None" (513) .I suspect that this is due to having turned off the "Server" service in XP. Can anyone confirm this? And suggest how to correct this and make x work without reinstalling Cygwin? (l already instilled and compiled a lot there, or Can I reinstall Cygwin without loosing all the programs?)

I have the problem described below, and made /tmp writable and readable and executable for all but I still have this problem. Please advise. I also don't understand how to check inet .
thanks in advance, Gil

There is a similar mail concerning this issue in the archive, which
was posted a year ago, but seemingly no one posted a solution. Does
already runninggather experiences with this in the meantime?
thanks,

Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.8.1.0-5
Contact: [email protected]
XWin was started with the following command line:
/usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error
ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1400 h 1050 winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running
Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
It should at least try inet too.
You can allow other users to write to /tmp/.X11-unix, or have a /tmp directory for
every user where the user can create files at will.
bye
