Hi,
I did just set up an amd64 (Intel Core2 Quad CPU) PC with snv_77.
It is the first OpenSolaris machine I set up that uses NFS mounted home
directories.
It seems that as a result, I get no automatic screensaver with Gnome.
If I try to start xscreensaver manually, I get:
---->
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
xscreensaver_orig: Can't open display: :0.0
xscreensaver_orig: running as jes/berlios (xxx/yyy); effectively root/berlios
(0/yyy)
xscreensaver_orig: Errors at startup are usually authorization problems.
Did you read the manual and the FAQ?
<----
It seems that the problem is a result from the fact that root cannot
read $HOME/.Xauthority
After I did a
chmod 555 /usr/bin/X11/xscreensaver
xscreensaver seems to work correctly and even deals correctly with the passwd.
But the passwd comes from NIS and I am not sure whether xscreensaver would be
able to verify the passwd if there was no NIS but a local /etc/shadow only.
Where is the problem? If the right solution was to remove suid root from
/usr/bin/X11/xscreensaver, is this a packaging bug? Is there a different
solution for the problem?
Jörg
