Hi, FreeBSD-Questions.

I can't start gnome, or mozilla, other than as root.  Running "startx" 
as a regular user
gives an error message about needing to be SUID root to start the 
server.  Mozilla gives
a similar 'permissions' error message.  I followed the FreeBSD Handbook 
for the
installation of XF86-4.x from the ports collection and have the same 
.xinitrc in my
user dir as I have in root's dir.  Can you be of any help in this?

Thanks.
Herk Gibbs
