Hi.
A few days ago, I installed a new clean Debian stable since my old one
from 2004 was badly shaped. I am still trying to configure it up like my
old one from scratch.
How do I run Guarddog v2.6.0 with root/sudo access in Gnome v2.3 since I
don't like KDE v4.4.3 (currently installed too)? I can run Guarddog
without problems if I use KDE and it even asks my root/sudo password.
I noticed running Guarddog as root/sudo in Terminal in Gnome shows:
# guarddog
No protocol specified
guarddog: cannot connect to X server :0.0
I have no problems running other KDE programs like kmail, kruler, etc.
in Gnome though.
FYI, I use Guarddog because it is easy to configure my iptables. ;)
Thank you in advance. :)

The problem is caused by X not allowing any connection to the server other

than your normal user.
As the normal user try:
$ xhost +local:
then run Guarddog as root. When you have finished run
$ xhost -local:
I tried Guarddog a few years back and it caused me problems (can't remember
what they were though). These days I use firehol which has worked well for
years with no gui problems! However the lack of IPv6 support is likely to
send me to something else, probably shorewall.

Or even better use gksudo.

gksu is a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo.
Their primary purpose is to run graphical commands that need
root without the need to run an X terminal emulator and
using su directly.

Perfect. It worked. I forgot to mention that running Guarddog as a
regular user (no su/root) had no problems.

Gksudo seems to crashes for me:
