Hi,
Thanks for the response.
Yeah, I figured out that my root user can't do anything to my home
directory on the network. I ran into a similar problem setting up
cpan. It wanted to create a .cpan directory and got permission denied.
Sounds like it's something similar here.
This is because your sysadmin has mounted your home directory across NFS
with root squashing (which is good btw).
Although I'd be mildly surprised if root couldn't run the
xwindows
server... Maybe root tried to write necessary files to my home directory
during installation and couldn't, hence I'm unable to run it?
Running is different from installation. Which one are you referring to ?
Anyway it looks like you need to do man xauth.
-kitty.
