HI FRIENDS,
I WANTED TO KNOW WHETHER THERE IS ANY POSSIBILITY BY WHICH I CAN RESTRICT ACCESS TO XSERVER ON USER NAME BASIS i.e. USER X CAN RUN X SERVER BUT USER Y CAN'T.ALSO I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT DOES THE FILE /etc/security/console.apps/xserver SIGNIFY.
WARM REGARDS,

please note CAPS == SHOUTING
normally X points to some X-server ( i.e. X is a symlink ) . My X is symlink to SVGA server:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 23 08:33 X -> XF86_SVGA
Try to find out yours by:
#ls -l `which X`
now your task is setting appropriate permissions for the binary that the X points to.

Dear Sampat,
We do know that you are terrible upset with those horrifying users wanting fancy graphics to play Quake. But humbly inform you that none of us on this list are responsible. We are totally against dumb users playing quake. We even strongly disapprove of graphics. So please do not shout at us.
