When i am logged in as a user, I want to execute an X program as root, I type su <password>
I have root access, ie I can do whatever I want !! When I try and access an X program, like firestarter my firewall I get .... debian:/home/test# firestarter NETFILTER detected Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 debian:/home/test# The X library has been refused by the X server, because root is not autherised to connect to the server ?? Can anyone explain to a simpleton why? and how do I get around this ?
