xhost is for working with connections coming over tcp. :0.0 uses a named socket (/tmp/Xsomething), and Debian's X servers don't listen in on a tcp socket by default (security. No chance of someone sniffing your password if nobody can connect remotely!). Thus, xhost won't work. -Joseph -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "As far as Microsoft, we will never take a company lightly that can put $3bn in cash in the bank every quarter." --Mark Tolliver, Sun Microsystems -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
