What's the result of running "ls -lhn /etc/dhclient-script" and "ls -lhn /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession"? > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/westk> ls -lhn /etc/dhclient-script > -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 6.6K 2006-12-04 10:07 /etc/dhclient-script > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/westk> ls -lhn /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession > -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 1.4K 2006-03-28 23:13 /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession -- Kent West Westing Peacefully <http://kentwest.blogspot.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
