When I log in to my debian system as non-root, I sometimes like to run a few X programs as root.
So I startup xterm, do a 'su', and then attempt launch the X program. It always returns with an (paraphrased) error 'cannot connect to xserver - permission denied'. What is causing this ? Do I need to put in a DISPLAY=Machine_Name:0.0 into /etc/profile ? Any helps, thanks ! Geoff Brimhall -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
