How do I give access to X from anything other than root? I get an error that the user is not allowed to run X. I realise that this probably involves xauth. But the explanations I can find about how it works might as well be in Greek. They all talk about the name of the host, for example. Why should I need this when I want to just be able to create a non-root login on the same computer? Can someone explain for me, step-by-step, how I let my non-root login use X?
nope /etc/X11/Xserver first line is the path to your selected X server, the second is who is permitted to run it, options being RootOnly, Console (local ttys NOT ptys) and AnyBody (remote, local anyone with a shell)
