"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing.

You should check if X11 is installed on your system.
To find out what you need to install to get xhost use something like this:
It's probably something like xorg-x11-server-utils
Also check with "yum grouplist" to see if you can install the X11 environment as a whole.

yum whatprovides "*/xhost

what do you want to do to users?
You can add/delete/modify on the command line easy enough.

You can install it with "yum install xorg-x11-server-utils"
If you want to install it via groupinstall (this will install much more though, so I don't know what you want to achieve, is it a server or desktop?) you can do something like this:
"yum groupinstall "X Window System" "Desktop" "Desktop Platform" "General Purpose Desktop""
WARNING this installs a complete desktop environment
You can slim it down with only doing something like this:
"yum groupinstall "X Window System""

hmmm, ok ... Probably not installed then.
Try this:
Where "your_hostname" is the name of your system, for example "box.domain.dns"
After that try your command again
Try this:
export DISPLAY=your_hostname:0.0
Where "your_hostname" is the name of your system, for example "box.domain.dns"
After that try your command again
#hostname
sleung.local
#export DISPLAY=sleung.local:0.0
#xhost
xhost unable to open display "sleung.local:0.0"
Any idea ?
Tks
sleung.local
#export DISPLAY=sleung.local:0.0
#xhost
xhost unable to open display "sleung.local:0.0"
Any idea ?
Tks
Do the export again, like this:
try "xhost +"
If this still doesn't work what's the result of this: "echo $hostname"
export DISPLAY=":0.0"
export DISPLAY="your_ip:0.0"
try "xhost +"
If this still doesn't work what's the result of this: "echo $hostname"
Can you check the logs to see if we get a hint of what it is that is missing or wrong?
might be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
might be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

do you really need the graphical tool to manage users? It seems a bit overkill and if its a server I wouldnt put and graphical environment on it.
