well, consider two things: you could startx in a screen session, then log out, screen would live on until X stops and the other thing, if you are running xscreensaver with a password, and you started from the console regularly, i can go to that console, do ^Z and `bg`, do my stuff as *you*, and the `clear && fg` to go out unnoticed. keep that in mind. martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "driving with a destination is like having sex to have children" -- backwater wayne miller
