[Solved] putty+x11:How do I pass X11 display rights to "su"?
I can log into a unix system with Putty. I've set the "X11 forwarding" checkbox, and I've verified that I can display an X11 window back on my laptop. What I need to be able to do is "su" to another uid after logging in and then run something which display a window back on my laptop, with the permissions of that su-ed id. That isn't working. I imagine this has something to do with ssh, but I can't figure out the EXACT steps I need to go through to get this to work.

prima::nox11
Prima::noX11(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Prima::noX11(3)
NAME
Prima::noX11 - Use Prima without X11
SYNOPSIS
use Prima::noX11;
use Prima;
my $error = Prima::XOpenDisplay();
if ( defined $error) {
print "not connected to display: $error
";
} else {
print "connected to display
";
}
DESCRIPTION
Prima will by default connect to X11 server on unix. To use Prima functionality in modules or programs where this default behavior is
undesired, please follow the guidelines below.
No connection
In the beginning of a script or a module that is never intended to connect to X11 display, add this:
use Prima::noX11;
use Prima;
It will be possible to connect to X11 server later on manually.
Manual connect to X11
If connection to X11 is optional, use this code after "use Prima::noX11" was invoked:
my $error = Prima::XOpenDisplay();
if ( defined $error) {
print "not connected to display: $error
";
} else {
print "connected to display
";
}
Checking if GUI functionality is accesiible.
Without X11 connection, no GUI functionality such as screen grabbing will be accessible. In addition to that functionality, windowing
functions will only become accessible after Prima::Application creates a single instance $::application.
Therefore, if $::application is defined, then all GUI functions can be safely used. If, on the contrary, it is not defined, initiate it as
this:
unless ( $::application) {
my $error = Prima::XOpenDisplay();
die $error if defined $error;
require Prima::Application;
import Prima::Application;
}
