Here are some things that work:
xhost
su -c xhost
su -c su logname -c xhost
Here are some things that do not work:
sudo xhost
sudo su logname -c xhost
sudo runuser -l logname -c xhost
sudo -u logname xhost
Those each threw the following error: access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, or how I can use the xhost command in a script that my users will most likely be running with sudo?
