Hey folks, So I want to log in to X as one regular (non-root) user, and then allow a different regular user to run X apps. After getting this error: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server I googled it and found lots of hits, all saying to use "xhost +localhost" to allow me to do what I want. Problem is, after an "xhost +localhost", I get the same result (even though it claims "localhost being added to access control list"). xhost with no parameters returns "INET:shorty.ca" which is indeed my local domain, but still I get the connection refused error... If I do "xhost +", then it disables access control, and I can do what I want, but naturally this makes me very nervous, so I don't regard it as a solution. Any suggestions? Thanks. -- ,-------------------------------------------------------------------------. > -ScruLoose- | Reporter: What do you think of western civilization? < > Please do not | Ghandi: I think it would be a good idea. < > reply off-list. | < `-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
