Something strange happened on my new Arch installation.
I can't seem to:
$ xhost +localhost
$ su
# some_X_app
anymore. I don't know why.
I have X started with "-nolisten tcp -dpi 96 :0 vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-SOMECODE" by KDM.
I also get such lines:
"AUDIT: Mon May 9 03:15:03 2005: 3128 X: client 17 rejected from local host"
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
It worked well under the same conditions on my old installation (on the dead hdd).
The only way I can run X apps as root under a normal user is to use "xhost +" which grants unconditional access for everybody.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

I see the problem got fixed by removing "-nolisten tcp" form ServerLocalArgs="..." in /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.
Pretty weird, as I remember it working fine before with that option there. There might be something else...

It works for me, both for root and other users. Root always worked, and I did something to allow other users too, but forgot what... I don't use xhost and do use the -nolisten tcp option. Try without the -auth option, perhaps that helps.
