Nope I didn't su, I just ssh'd in as a regular user and immediately 
tried xclock. I also tried ssh'ing in as root to see if it's a perms 
problem, but root gets the same error. Maybe I've got a configuration 
error somewhere? ezjail mounts much of the file system ro, maybe that's 
causing a problem?

Thanks,
