Hi, This is probably a FAQ, but anyway. I'm trying to set things up so that I can run a root Xterm should I need to. The methodology is:
xhost root@ su /usr/X11R6/bin/Eterm --icon-name "ROOT" -n "ROOT" --scrollbar-right -S "red" -b "red" -I /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/bomb.xpm -e bash & Unfortunatly, xhost root@ doesn't work: X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 109 (X_ChangeHosts) Value in failed request: 0xfe Serial number of failed request: 8 Current serial number in output stream: 10 How do I sort this out, please?
