Sorry if I misplaced this posting. I was torn between "Applications & Desktop Environments" and "System Administration".
I have an old version of the 'sux' program lying around, which does just fine. Dunno how I got it. Maybe an old AUR? Doesn't matter.
$ ldd ~/mybin/bin/00\ \ sux
not a dynamic executable
$ 00\ \ sux --version
su from util-linux 2.27.1
$ sux --version
su from util-linux 2.27.1
However, when trying to use the "new" (from current AUR) sux command, I get an error/warning message saying
xauth: (argv):1: unable to read any entries from file "(stdin)"
Everything else seems to work seamlessly. The 'sux' window does operate a root. I'm just curious about this error/warning message.
My "root" configuration is very sparse:
# ls -a1 /root
.Xauthority
.bash_history
.bash_profile
.bashrc
.gnupg
.lesshst
.viminfo
.vimrc
0.txt
us_de
us_de_working
xinitrc_disabled
# cat .Xauthority .bashrc .bash_profile .profile
alias vi=vim
alias cp='cp -i'
alias rm='rm -i'
alias mv='mv -i'
setterm -blength 0
export EDITOR="vim" \
VISUAL="xterm -e vim" \
HISTFILESIZE=9998 \
HISTSIZE=9998 \
HISTIGNORE="?:??:???:date:exit:logout:startx:killall icewm:rm *:*shred*:shutdown *" \
LESS=" -MMiSx4RC " \
LESSEDIT="vim ?lt+%lt. %f" \
LS_OPTIONS=' --color=auto -F -b -T 0' \
GREP_COLOR='04;36;45' \
GREP_COLORS='mt=04;36;45' \
MANPAGER="less -+N" \
PAGER="less -+N" \
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
I then deleted the /root/.Xauthority file before launching the X session (as user 'joe'). To no avail.
This has been going on for many weeks/reboots. Maybe some of you can shed some light on this.
Regards
Joe

Seems to be a known problem. Check the comments here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sux/
Edit: Moving to "AUR Issues".
