Hi all,

I've hosed some of my X - files....

Specifically, the ones that set up access rights....

I run several Xterms, using different users (i.e a development window
and a talk window using different user names).
I would like these users to be able to run X apps on the display.
Ok...setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
xhost +localhost 
etc....

But to now avail...

any ideas ?
