Xhost probs
Hi,
This is probably a FAQ, but anyway. I'm trying to set things up so
that I can run a root Xterm should I need to. The methodology is:
xhost root@
su
/usr/X11R6/bin/Eterm --icon-name "ROOT" -n "ROOT"
--scrollbar-right -S "red" -b "red" -I
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/bomb.xpm -e bash &
Unfortunatly, xhost root@ doesn't work:
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 109 (X_ChangeHosts)
Value in failed request: 0xfe
Serial number of failed request: 8
Current serial number in output stream: 10
How do I sort this out, please?
Thanks,
Matthew
