While this is the Solution to the actual Problem, why does the manpage say not to do it? As I remember the manpage says that the "noauth" would lead to incompatibilities in future versions of diald. Is this Information still correct? This brings me to another Problem, the Information that Newbies get. There are many manpages and other pieces of documentation that contain information that is no longer correct. Is there anyone updating the documentation? Or this only a Problem with Packages that have no maintainer? Florian Streck eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
