That works! ;-> Believe it or not, though, it's not unknown to have background processes running on a host -- a host not in a locked server room -- that you'd rather not be killed by some passing user, and still permit others to also login at the local console. > Slim's solution against unawareness is to require root password. > Well, are you going to give the root password to mindless people? Understand, please, that I've never happened to use slim. When I install an x window manager, I almost always use xdm. Certainly, from the description, that design seems a very appropriately cautious one. -- Cheers, Luftputebåten min er full av ål. Rick Moen r...@linuxmafia.com McQ!
