Re: multiple X sessions problem
Let me count the reasons... 1) If I want to do some work when someone else is already logged in via xdm (ie: They don't mind the 'break' but would mind shutting down for me). 2) If I am logged in as me and decide that I want to do a bunch of sysadm type stuff, I will frequently establish another x session so that none of the 'root' tools are in my 'normal' session. 3) Testing configuration changes made for a user is most conveniently done by having two sessions (I think). 4) No doubt others have their own reasons in addition to these. best, -bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] --Please note [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not work-- --nor does anyone@anyhost.wconsult.com-- ==and yes eventually I'll get the mailer figured out== On Fri, 5 Dec 1997, Stephen Zander wrote: E Papantoniou wrote: my problem is that I cannot run more than one X server at the same time.

This may be caused by X' authentication scheme. X can use authentication to ensure that only the user in front of the console have acces to the display (otherwise anyone on the net might start apps on your display). Debian uses authentication by default, but this can be disabled. Unfortunately for you, I can't tell you how - you will have to browse the man pages. For a start you can try to circumvent it with ln -s /home/user/.Xauthority /root/.Xauthority. - Sten Anderson -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
