Hi all,
I was restricting some file permissions in /etc and /var today, and I
think I overdid it a bit. Now I can only do startx as root !

If I do startx as a normal user, I get the following type of error:

xauth:  creating new authority file /home/foo/.serverauth.5135
Authentication failed - cannot start X server.
Perhaps you do not have console ownership?xinit:  Server error.

Any help appreciated.


Gabriel.
