Hi, when maintaining a machine from remote I sometimes have to switch to a non-root user (whose password I don't want to know) to try something out.
For that, I log into that machine by ssh -Y r...@.... Now, how can I switch to user USER such that the X credentials are copied. Unfortunately, sux (from X11-misc/sux) doesn't work in that case. I always get X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. Are there any means to achieve this? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
