If you are root, you can of course run any program as any user, X security requires you to autenticate with a cookie, which you can get in the ~/.Xautority file of that user. But if the point is just some setting, then that's probably overkill, and should be done in your favourite editor. > Does the functionality to shadow(or peekin over ones shoulder) exist in > XFree86 4.0.1? Not that I know of. > Are there any 3rd party applications that support shadowing users. Sort of. VNC can be used for "sharing" or "viewing" desktops. But as I understand it, this requires that the application in question runs under a xvncserver rather than an real X server. Get some real facts about vnc on http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/start.html and read more about ltsp and vnc on http://www.ltsp.org/contrib/ltspvnc.html /Hans Ekbrand _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
