Hi
I would like to run some X apps from a 'su -' shell xterm.
I used to use the following trick to save myself the need of messing with
xauth:
in the root shell I set:
DISPLAY=:0.0
XAUTHORITY=/home/tzafrir/.Xauthrity
(since root can read the user's home directory)
However, this doesn't work anymore. Any idea if there is any way to make
it work?
If not, can anybody give me the required xauth commands? (Yes, I tried the
man page, but I didn't fully understand it).
Thanks
