Re: How do I make xhost changes stick?

[Tyler Smith <tyler.smith@mail.mcgill.ca>]

Thanks, but I'm still missing something. I appended the line

xhost local:

to /etc/profile, as well as ~/.bash_profile, and neither seems to have 
changed anything. I've tried to wade into the bash manual and the bash 
doc examples, but it's beyond me.

Thanks,

Tyler

   Hi,

   I'm using Etch with x.org <http://x.org>, xdm, and fluxbox. I've
   discovered that I
   can't open an X windows after I log into root using su, as when I try to
   open emacs to edit a config file. I have to use 'xhost local:' first.
   Not a big deal, but I have to do this everytime I log in. Is there a
   way
   to make this setting stick between sessions?


put it in your shell's startup file, .profile for sh, ksh, bash, zsh; 
.login for csh tcsh

Thanks,

Tyler

My apologies if you've seen this already, my newsgroup account is
