It has something to do with modifying the > xauthority file....I think. If this is the problem, then using sudo instead on su is the easiest and also propably the most secure option. If the problem was really connecting to an existing X session from another host, using "ssh -X <host-to-run-program-from>" should solve the problem - given both ssh and sshd are configured to be able to forward X11 connections. If you do not have ssh and sshd, install them at once anyway. I think there is no other secure way of communicating between two machines - excluding IPSec of course, but it does not help the problem at hand. -- ----------------------------------------------- | Juha Jäykkä, juolja@utu.fi | | home: http://www.utu.fi/~juolja/ | -----------------------------------------------
