I'm not sure why xhost behaves as it does and was hoping someone could 
tell me.

As a normal user, if I su to root, I can run just about everything in X --
emacs, galeon, netscape.  But not up2date.  So, as a normal user, I can
type

xhost +localhost

and now, when I su root, I can also run up2date.

So, my question is, why can root only run somethings and not others?

Also,  is there a better alternative then using xhost to be able to do 
this?  I seem to recall hearing there was a better way, but I don't recall 
what it is.

thanks,
blake
