Running as the user 'webc' with groups: webc root kmem video

xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/bin/X :1 ${ARGS} -auth
/tmp/serverauth.CBjhw27703
I don't think the X-Xorg SUID wrapper is passing arguments properly. These
invocations as root run fine:
xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/bin/X :1 -logfile /tmp/runmeX.txt -config
xorg.webc.conf -auth /tmp/serverauth.CBjhw27703
xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/bin/Xorg :1 -logfile /tmp/runmeX.txt
-config xorg.webc.conf -auth /tmp/serverauth.CBjhw27703
So the ARGS are fine.
Kind regards,
