Hi, I have 2 general, possibly newbie questions: 1. How do I allow a normal non-root user edit files (cp, mv, etc.) on a mounted filesystem? (i.e. su to root, then mount /floppy, but now only root can add or delete files on /floppy) 2. I'm running GNOME as a normal non-root user, but for some reason, whenever I try to run an X app from the terminal window as root, I get the error "Connection to :0:0 refused by server, Client is not authorized to connect to server" or something to that affect. For example, from the terminal window in GNOME (I'm in GNOME as a normal non-root user): > su Password: root# emacs Connection to :0:0 refused by server, etc., etc., etc. Usually, emacs will open up in a new window. This error happens even if I try to run any program that requires X, whether I'm in a terminal window in GNOME or just from the text prompt outside of X. Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list. Thanks. -- Anant \**********************/ * * * O * * \_____/ * * _____ * * / \ * * | * * / __ * * __|_/ \__/ * * | * * \ * * __ | * * / \_____/ * * | * * \_ * * * /**********************\ _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
