How are you attempting to start an X session? (Answers may be below, but I am confusing myself with the differences in syntax, so just to be clear...) What error messages are you getting? Try `startx > startx.log` . > Using xdm neither unprivileged-user or root can login Does xdm report something? > Using startx just root can login What do you mean by "can login"?

And this reasoning doesn't get one to this conclusion: 1) non-shadaw pwd messes up X 2) I use shadow pwd 3) My X gets messed up. The syllogism is faulty. Look for the problem elsewhere. > Does anybody know what version of xfree86 has this shadow-password > compatibility? > Is there any chance I get my actual version (3.3.6) to work with > shadow-password compatibility? I use shadow passwords, and have no problems using X. I doubt that this is at fault here, really. > I really appreciate any sugestion since I'm a newbie-Debian-user Oh, hey, we're glad to help, and when you can, you'll be glad to help others, right? > (Is this the reason why nobody answer my questions?, this is not the > newbie mailing list I thought ) This is the mailing list for Debian Users, to request & give help, and to discuss the use of Debian, and related issues (just not _too_ off topic, please), whether one is a clueless newbie, or a (get ready for a phrase-coining) newless cluebie. I don't know why nobody answered your questions, but there may be various reasons: no X-perts available at the time of your previous posts, or, possibly, not understanding the nature of your problem, so skipping instead of delving into it. Response in not guaranteed, but has a fairly high probability. > Este mensaje fue enviado mediante Web E-mail de MegaRed > INTERNET POR CABLE <<<<< > >>>>>http://www.megared.net.mx Solo de curiosidad, en qual cuidad o parte de Mexico vives?
