Ah, I see, it just logs an error, but doesn't actually fail. (The code only changed a *small* amount, but I guess it was sufficient.) sp = getspnam(greet->name); if (sp == NULL) { Debug ("getspnam() failed, errno=%d. Are you root?\n", errno); } else { So I'll change that text a bit, and have the next release install both xdm and xdm-shadow but make them the same executable (safest path, I think, since I can't count on everything else being updated to know about the change.) HOWEVER, it doesn't make any sense to do a new release just for this, since it's just an annoyance, not a bug (the shadow convert scripts currently do the right thing if you run them with X already installed.) There is a better reason though -- someone sent me patches for what they claim are all of the Xt buffer overruns. If there's a 1.3.1 planned, and someone lets me know the deadline and/or schedule at least a week (preferably two) in advance, I'll get both of these in. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
