Thank you for the comment. $ ssh -x client forces ssh to NOT forward X11, even if requested by default. I usually modify /etc/ssh/ssh(d)_config, so that I don't have to use any option at all and so I always mix the options when forced to use one ;-) Thanks, Colin. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I had the same problem and decided to install the USB perimssion daemon by myself, because I couldn't find any Debian package to deal with that problem. Take a look at http://www.xena.uklinux.net/Linux/usb_perms.html The init script is made for SuSE I think, so you must create one by yourself. > 2. I want to export my display on anothre computer.

I seriously recommend to use ssh instead of unencrypted X11 connections. However, It seems that your X server has been started with the "-nolisten tcp" option for security reasons. Are you using "gdm"? Look at /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. Using xdm? Try /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. Change the line that starts the X server you are dealing with (probably :0). Please use ssh instead. Try $ ssh -x client and look at $ echo $DISPLAY It should look like "localhost:10" or so. If not, enable X11 forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config at the X11 clients side. When done, just type "xterm". Hope this will help you. If not, request more details. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
usb permissions + export display
Hello everybody ! I'm new to Debian but not (quite!) to Linux. I used to run RedHat, and today I'm under Woody. I have to little problems that I never had to deal with under RH: 1. When I plug my didgital usb camera, I can only access it under root, not as a regular user. I know this is because /proc/bus/usb/000/... entries are accessible only by root, and I can't change it since as soon as I re-plug my camera, the permissions are back only for root. Someone mentionned the hotplug package (right now, I'm using usbmgr, I don't really know the difference), but I read the manual and didn't see anything helpfull regarding my problem. 2. I want to export my display on anothre computer. On the server running X, I issued the following command: "xhost +", and on the client, when I launch an application, like "xterm -display server:0", I get this error message: "xterl Xt error: Can't open display: server:0". Isn't it odd since my X server is supposed to accept connections from any host ? Thanks in advance for your help in those 2 problems. Antoine ps: I hope you understood my questions because of my poor English. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
