Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
when maintaining a machine from remote I sometimes have to switch to |
| 4 |
a non-root user (whose password I don't want to know) to try something |
| 5 |
out. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
For that, I log into that machine by ssh -Y root@.... |
| 8 |
Now, how can I switch to user USER such that the X credentials |
| 9 |
are copied. |
| 10 |
Unfortunately, sux (from X11-misc/sux) doesn't work in that case. |
| 11 |
I always get |
| 12 |
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Are there any means to achieve this? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Many thanks for a hint, |
| 17 |
Helmut. |
