If you didn't force the install sendmail should have been uninstalled at the same time you installed smail. The dependencies shouldn't allow two different MTA's to be installed at the same time. You could always check weather sendmail or smail is running in the background. > > Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key > > Initialization error: X server not responding > : ":0.0" The user that started X is the one that normally can start programs on it. You can always allow root to start programs even tho another user has started X by copying the file .Xauthority from that users directory to roots homedir or simply make a symlink (which ofcourse would be the better way).
