Hey all,
Quick AfterStep / RedHat question. If this is to basic please direct me to the
appropriate FAQ. I just installed RedHat on my machine, set up the X Server,
and created a user account. I started up the X Server and AfterStep without any
problems at all. But as soon as I logged in as the new user account (not root) when
I tried to run the startx process I get an error saying that basically I don't have
permissions to run the XF86 X Server. It also mentions something about having to
suid the startx process. I tried placing suid root at the top of the startx shell
script
with no success. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? I want to XServer to
be run at startup of any user. So I guess the 2 questions are:
1. How do I set up the XServer to be runnable as any user? If this is not the
right method should I but the XServer in the boot script?
2. How do I automatically have it execute the XServer at login for all users?
Thanks for the help all. Also, once I get up and running I would like to
participate in the development of AfterStep or WindowManager. Whichever
is recommended. I am a pretty good programmer. I actually do it for a living
as well. Well anyhow, catch you all later.
Sean
