I wish to thank all the responces which I received on my Xauthority problem. I went looking for 'ssh' when I read it in the thread, but wasn't able to find it in any package (bo system). Of note, I use the default 'bash' shell and checked the variables (as suggested) :
XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority I chased this down to a 'declare' statement in the /etc/profile file. Should I change the location of the declaration to the ~/.bash_profile file? (and change it to 'XAUTHORITY=~$USER/.Xauthority') ? I see this Xauthority problem as a security hole and want to close it before jumping "online". -- -= Sent by Debian 1.3 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. ....- -.-. .. -.- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
