Hey everyone.. I'm using RH6.0 and when I type "startx" at the command line, the program takes a long time to boot. A switch to the main screen reveals this error message: gnomeUI warning Authentication rejected reason MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication rejected I am currently "root" and need to make sure root has 'cookie authority' (?). According to "Remote X Apps mini-HOWTO: Telling the Server" from the RedHat site, I need to change the authentication in the /usr/X11R6/bin/startx file.. How would I go about doing this properly? Thanks, April E. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
