Re: SU Problems



Before you "SU" to root type 'xhost +' this will disable X windows access 
control. Remember X windows is a network program and has to authorize 
every user before it will let you run an application.

By the way xhost + is also not the most secure way of handling this 
problem. Do a  'man xhost' and check out the specific params.

PS. Time to get back into the swing of Linux use and not development 
again. After porting linux to run on an VIC20 for a university project I 
am sick of assembly (had to port GCC over as well :)

PPS. anyone want a VIC20 port of linux before I delete the 500megs of 
files from my hard drive?
