[FreeNX-kNX] sudo problems from NX session

[jim.sifferle at tektronix.com]

Hi All,

I'm having some problems with sudo on NX sessions.  If I'm logged in as a regular user, whenever I run an application like Wireshark through sudo, I get the following error:

Xlib: connection to ":1000.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified


(wireshark:10825): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:  

Is sudo resetting an environment variable needed to access the xauth information?  Any idea how I could fix this besides running 'xhost +' before 'sudo wireshark'?  

I'm running CentOS 5.2 if it makes any difference.

Thanks,
