In case you are unaware.... To simplify the GUI side, use 'xauth' get user_one's cookie: user_one# xauth -n list localhost/unix:0 localhost/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 83c12a394ac0c5afe1fee0a973b9e49g then give the cookie to user_two: user_two# xauth add localhost/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 83c12a394ac0c5afe1fee0a973b9e49g now 'user_two' can access the GUI (you may need to set DISPLAY): user_two# DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/apulse /home/apps/firefox/firefox -ProfileManager I do this so frequently for 'root' that I have a two-line bash script I called 'xsudo.sh' #!/usr/bin/env bash sudo bash -c "xauth add $(xauth -n list localhost/unix:0) && exec $@ &"
Ok I tried this today but I think I have something wrong. Are you running all these as root (I see # in your prompt)? Here is what I tried: user1 $xauth -n list localhost/unix:0 user1 $xauth -n list beowulf/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 4e9c9fca69b03a0b270ce53237df2fca user1 $sudo -u webuser /bin/bash --login No protocol specified Cannot open display ":0.0" No protocol specified Cannot open display ":0.0" webuser $xauth add beowulf/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 4e9c9fca69b03a0b270ce53237df2fca xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/user1/.Xauthority webuser $ _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
