I# xhost local: non-network local connections being added to access control list I#

Instead i get a message in my log that locking is not enabled ? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
When I configure xscreensaver I use the xscreensaver-demo command. This allows you to set everything up for that user and start and stop the xscreensaver daemon. You run this as the local user.
There is a way to cheat xhosting as root if you are not running remotely. If you simply use "su" instead of "su -" it should keep all the environment including the DISPLAY setup correctly. This seems to work well for me.
Generally I do this to xhost from root to my user display.
$ xhost local: $ su - Password:
# bash # export DISPLAY=:0 # gcalctool
