I just upgraded to hamm and am having a peculiar problem: when I am in X as a user and I su to root in an rxvt terminal window, I am no loger able to open any rxvt terminal as a user. I get an error saying that rxvt cannot connect to a pseudo tty. This does not happen with xterm and if I log out as root everything works fine again.
Root doesn't have rights to the X display because root doesn't own the display, the user who started the session does. A quick fix (but insecure) is to type `xhost +localhost' before su'ing to root. A better fix is to use xauth--try `man xauth' for more info. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
