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.
