gnuserv & xauth

[Deniz Dogan <deniz@ada.net.tr>]

Hi,

How can I use a normal user`s gnuserv process as root? What I want to
do is: as root to use a normaluser`s emacs to edit some conf files.

I tried:

root@dogan:~# xauth -f /home/deniz/.Xauthority extract - :0.0 | xauth merge -
root@dogan:~# export DISPLAY=:0.0

root@dogan:~# gnuclient ipfw.dotfile 
gnuclient: No such file or directory

root@dogan:~# gnuclient -h dogan.dyn.ml.org ipfw.dotfile 
gnuclient: Connection refused
gnuclient: unable to connect to remote

What am I missing or doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
