To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG In my user session, when I su to root and invoke any x program, I get "Xlib: connection to "xxxx:0.0" refused by server. Xlib: No protocol specified. Xlib: Clint is not authorized to connect to server." I can xhost + to make it work. But, since I work on my own local computer, is there a way to disable the authorization so I don't have to type xhost+ everytime or even better a way to selectively disable authorization? thank you ed __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
