No idea what IMA is. Presumeably it requires root priveledge to execute from the gist of your statements though. In this case, use the su command or use sudo, or make it SUID root. >My server is Redhat 2.1. I installed a application(IMA) that needs to >run x application. I guess that that installation did assign x >application privilege to the user(IMA) that I used to install that >application. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "assign x application priveledge"..

It's a bad idea to assume everyone is going to know some obscure program name and how it works. >one more thing. can I add localhost permanently? >I need to type 'xhost + localhost' whenever I reboot system. By default, using both "su" and "su -" in Red Hat Linux will have X authorization set up automatically via PAM. You can however set up what you want by reading the "xhost" manpage, and paying attention to the FILES section where it mentions /etc/X*.hosts Hope this helps. -- Mike A.
