On one of my Sarge systems, if X access control is enabled, i.e.
"xhost" yields the following output:
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
then if I su to root, X apps now start normally, as if I had previously
executed "xhost +". All my sarge systems are up to date, but only one
exhibits this new behavior. The only difference I see related to X
behavior, is that the changed system uses gdm instead of kdm.
The others still output the following error message after su'ing to root:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
I'm not aware of any recent configuration changes that could account for
the change. Since this is a change in security-related behavior I am more
anxious than usual to get to the bottom of it. Thanks for any clues about
what may have changed, and how.
