If you're talking about logging in as user, then running an X client as root, all you have to do is (in an xterm) $xhost +localhost $su - <password> #X_client_you_want_to_run_as_root & If you're asking how to run X as a user because it won't let you, you need to reconfigure xserver-common. #dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common I'd suggest Console Users Only as a pretty good standard answer if you don't know any better. If you can run it as user A and you want to be able to run it as user B, unless user A is a sudoer (which you're back to the second case), there is no reason on Earth that user B can't run X under the same circumstances as A already. >-- Deven > > > -- <a mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Who is John Galt?</a> Failure is not an option.
