Using 4.0 snap 06/24 I have this installed on a Toshiba 4005CDS. I have some of the X libraries etc but do not have X set up. Currently I'm accessing the FreeBSD install mostly from a desk top pc running RedHat Linux 6.2. I'm able to ssh to the laptop and run apps on the desktop unit in X like this: $ ssh reader@laptop <password> <RET> Then I have user readers console on the remote (laptop). From there I can say `emacs . &' and an emacs running in reader@laptop/$HOME is displayed on my desk unit in X mode. Still leaving access to the remote terminal. OK fine... this is all as it should be. I can run `vim', `emacs', `gvim' etc. Anything that can be made to run in X will start and display on the local(desktop) X screen. But only so long as I stay in a user account on the remote. If I su to root on the remote, I can no longer run anthing that needs X. For example: On the remote: `su root' <password> <RET> # emacs FILE X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication at Sat Jul 1 18:06:31 2000. a Rejected connection at Sat Jul 1 18:06:31 2000: X11 connection from satellite.local.lan port 1126 Error: Couldn't find per display information root@satellite /root At first I thought it was something to do with ssh and ssh-agent so set an /root/.ssh/authorized_keys in the remote /root directory... didn't help. Looking at the error I think now it is refering only to X authorization. Which I know almost nothing about. Does anyone recognize this error and know what it is about?
