I have started X as a normal user. I opened a terminal window, and executed: bash-2.04$ su - Password: # bash bash-2.04# export DISPLAY=0:0 bash-2.04# xterm & bash-2.04# Xlib: connection to "0:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root user. The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable. xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s [1]+ Exit 1 xterm What's a MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key, and why do I have an invalid one? I guess this has something to do with PAM ? Any pointers to documentation would be greatly appreciated. -- Ernst To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
