That should work just as well if there isn't a lot of cli redirecting that needs raised privs (I'm afraid I'm not familiar with ddd enough to know if it does or not). It could be tedious, but you could always make this script: xddd.sh: #!/bin/sh sudo ddd $* ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Anyway, I'll read the xhost man page and lets see what others got to say too. Take care. Regards Unga Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!
