Agreed Jared. I was playing the percentages for the sake of a quick, clear
answer. In my experience most of the time it's going to be root.
Cheers,

Mike,
Not necessarily.
It depends on who started the Xsession.
I regularly run 'xhost' on my workstation as a non-root user.
Root is unable to do so on the same machine.

Hi,
you'll need to be signed in as root in order to run the "xhost +" command.
The rest of that looks fine so :
as root :
xhost +
as oracle_user :
export DISPLAY=<PC Client IP address>:0.0
xclock (to test yopur X config)
NB Exceed has its own array of bugs when used with the Oracle installer.
Good luck and I hope the 9i instaler handles Exceed better.
regards,
Mike Hately
