Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] client not authorized to connect to server - xauth probls
Ethereal installed ok. I start x with xdm. As a regular user, ethereal will
start (but not listen, lacking sufficient rights). But if I su in a terminal
window, and try to start ethereal, I get a message that connection to 0.0
refused by server; client not authorized to connect to server; and a gtk
message cannot open display :0.0
I am not trying to access this server from another machine. Everything is on
my one machine. I just want to run ethereal from my regular user account. From
what I can determine, xauth is the culprit, and I somehow need to take a
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE and put it somewhere. But HOW? Can someone give me clear list
of steps to take to do this?
I get both a reference to magic cookies and to xauthorities when i do the
xauth list thing. Its not clear what lines I would copy from where and how I
would put them in their new home so I can run the program.
