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.

I regularly run 'xhost' on my workstation as a non-root user. Root is unable to do so on the same machine.

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 -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Hately, Mike (NESL-IT) INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
