I am running Debian Sarge on a simple single-user desktop system. My X display is started by kdm. By default, Debian configures the X server to allow connections only by the user logged into the machine through kdm. If I want to start an X client by another user (e.g. start vim-gtk as su'd root) I have to first type "xhost +local" as the logged-in user, or transfer xauth tokens to the unprivileged user. It doesn't seem like this is something I should have to do all the time. Since my X server is configured not to listen for TCP connections and since I am the only user on the machine, "xhost +local" seems to be a reasonable default. Does anyone disagree? How can I make "xhost +local" the default configuration?
Thanks in advance for your input. --Ethan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
