I don't quite understand your suggestion. I login as user kargl. I fire up X11 as user kargl with startx. I use su in a xterm to connect to my alter ego (su sgk). Now, as user sgk I want to use a X11 client such as nedit. AFAICT, it can't be done. If as user kargl, I do "ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]" to login into the sgk account, I still can not use a X11 client. -- Steve http://troutmask.apl.washington.edu/~kargl/ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
