Do you mean you want to have another X session started and waiting for another login by another user ID? You want it on boot or just under some circumstances? I have this in my root user bin and run it when I want. This is on my CentOS 4.7. If you are on 5.x, it will be a little different. # cat bin/XAgain xdm -server ":1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1" I haven't run it for a _long_ time. If things changed since then, the above may not be exactly right now. HTH -- Bill BTW, more initial information on your setup might save some time and additional postings. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
