Hello, I am trying to allow access to my X server to anyone connected locally on my machine. I know that I can "xhost +" to allow unlimited connections, but I've read about the file /etc/X0.hosts which may contain the list of allowed hosts to access display :0
So I've created a /etc/X0.hosts file, which contains the entry "localhost". OK, fine. But now, when I am in an xterm as my standard user, and type in "su -", then "export DISPLAY=:0", I always get error messages : Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: :0.0 The only way to avoid that is to issue a "xhost +" before suing. It works fine with simple "su", but I need to have a login shell. Is it a bug? What do I miss? I am running Sarge. Thank you, Dominique PS : I already know about "ssh -X -l whoever localhost", my question is about this xhost issue. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
