Hi everyone,
I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0 and just completed weekly upgrade.
Now when I run "startx", I can not connect to the graphical display
window. I simply see the gray screen with the small x in the middle.
I went back to the command line to review the text immediately following
the startx command and the first line reads: xauth: creating new
authority file /home/rperry/.serverauth.8414; then, repeated four (4)
times is the following:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file
/home/rperry/.Xauthority
(skip)
error opening security policy file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
AUDIT: Sat Jan 28...8433 X: client 1 rejected from local host
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
I have no problem running startx as root.
cd /home/rperry
ls -l .Xauthority
-rw-------1 root rperry 112 Jan 28 22:13 .Xauthority
FWIW, also had trouble running portupgrade due to repeated timeouts
and/or loss of connections.
Is there a location that lists the error messages like the one I
encountered? Tried Google and the mailing list archives but wasn't able
to resolve the issue.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob Perry
