Go back to the original post before you resort to such childish adjectives.
I agree, optimizing your commands to suit only the situation in which it will be exectued, is a great practice.
snip>>
to allow root to your xsession try typing the following command as you
xhost +
this will grant anyone from anywhere acess to your xsession
<<snip
But when, members post to there list I don't think that they should have to go through all the motions in every step. Instead of saying:
LOGIN:you
PASSWD: your passwd
your@yourhost$ sudo
PASSWD: your passwd
root@yourhost# for files in `/bin/ls --color=none /etc | grep ^make.conf$`; do cp $files $files`date +%m%d`.bak && vim $files;
done
I will just say the edit the make.conf file
Security and practice are a matter of preference, I'm just trying to help.
It's a pointer, not a solution. Besides, who runs without a dedicated Linux Based firewall running some IP Tables telling anyone trying to connect to your Xserver or any port that doesn't deal with time mail.

yes, and desperate people are likely do stupid things.
Lurkers: I'm still looking for a cause for the connection error :-)
