running xfree86 as a user instead of admin

[Quick, Edward T]

Hi,

I have XFree running on W2K and it is fine for me when I'm logged in as Admin but if I log in as a User it won't run. I have a feeling the answer is to set owner of xinit to root but as I'm using cygwin I don't think this is possible is it? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

PS: Please could you copy any replies to me directly as I haven't subscribed to the user's list. Thanks.

This is what I get when I try to run X:

bash-2.05$ ./xinit

ddxProcessArgument ()
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
_XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener
_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for local

Fatal server error:
Failed to establish all listening sockets
giving up.
./xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X server
./xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.
