[Bogler]

Just downloaded the latest linuxconf rpms and installed.
No probs with the installation but shen i try and run it from the commad line with a

linuxconf

i get

linuxconf
Error message from remadmin :Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Error message from remadmin :Xlib: No protocol specified
Error message from remadmin :
Error message from remadmin :Error: Can't open display: :0.0

Linuxconf is evil. :P

Guaranteed to fix it.
rpm -e linuxconf

Try here instead if you need a GUI config tool for something Red Hat does not yet provide.

You can try running xhost +localhost as root. If that doesn't work,try xhost +
Unfortunately the latter opens up a hole as your x-server will be open to the world. If you're behind a lan, that might be acceptable, if not - be sure and cover it with your firewall.
