Date: Sat, 1 Jun 1996 23:25:57 -0400 To: questions@FreeBSD.org From: sahmad@interlog.com (Shazad Ahmad) Subject: FreeBSD question Dear Support, I am having some difficulty with FreeBSD 2.10 in that whenever I log in as root, I cannot run X-windows via the startx command. The error I get is 'command not found'. However, when I log in as any other user and type startx it works. I have tried going to the directory containing the startx file/command but it doesnt work as long as I'm longed in as root. A few other commands also fail to work when I login as root. This is despite the fact that the files have rwx permissions for all users. Please let me know if this is a known problem or some type of configuration issue, etc. The simple solution is to edit your .cshrc and add the path to the startx program.. /usr/X11R6/bin.
