Re: [Cscmail-devel] Debian Installation

[Count Z. <cou...@cy...>]

As the user who is currently running X windows, issue the command:

xhost +local:

This will allow all local users to connect to the X server to open windows.
(Including root or any other local account)

It is a minor security risk, if someone else logs on to your machine via
telnet, they could then open windows on your display.  So when you are done
installing CSCMail, I recommend you do xhost -local: to reset the
permissions back to default.
