The following reply was made to PR i386/26739; it has been noted by GNATS. From: <andrew@ugh.net.au> To: <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org>, <sucho2@vt.edu> Cc: Subject: Re: i386/26739: I can't seem to open files through console as a super user! Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 00:40:08 +1000 (EST) Instead of using su use su -m. This way X clients will use the authentication keys(?) of the original user rather than of root (who isn't allowed to connect). This also means that you keep your shell settings - great if you have multiple people who adminster a box.
