Hey folks, So I want to log in to X as one regular (non-root) user, and then allow a different regular user to run X apps.
After getting this error:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
I googled it and found lots of hits, all saying to use "xhost
+localhost" to allow me to do what I want.
Problem is, after an "xhost +localhost", I get the same result (even
though it claims "localhost being added to access control list").
xhost with no parameters returns "INET:shorty.ca" which is indeed my
local domain, but still I get the connection refused error...
If I do "xhost +", then it disables access control, and I can do what I
want, but naturally this makes me very nervous, so I don't regard it as
a solution.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
