Please don't do that. Better to learn the propper way to run X as another user by using xauth. Xauth allows you to import the magic cookie of another user, so you can authenticate yourself to X like this: $ su - <user> # export DISPLAY=:0.0; xauth merge ~<user>/.Xauthority # xfontsel & xhost won't discriminate users, only hosts, which could be a security problem on a multi-user system. Fill in the propper username and display and your good to go. HTH Grx HdV -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
