I am having problems with my root account executing programs from a command prompt. I cannot run things like "netscape &", "gimp &", "x11amp &"...I get the following message: freebsd# Xlib: connection to ":0:0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Can't open Display <--this message varies; depends on which app is trying to be run The other message I get is "command not found" My personal account (kweiss) works fine with. Yet, when I have the root use KDE, all the apps work fine. Anyone know what's going on? Thank you in advance :-) PS - I can easily test this out by "su"ing the root, and not having the app run, then I exit, and I'm back to my kweiss account, and then run something like "netscape &" Kevin Weiss kevin.weiss@mail.utexas.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
