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
