hmm, well my question was actually more concerned with how I stop
users running startx when they are logged into the linux box, I don't
want to provide a graphical interface to an account via Win PC
telnet, I just want to allow telnet access for Pine, g++ etc.
Do you know how to configure telnet ?
Or at least redirect the output from 'the transfer of graphics
primitives' away from the consol screen.
e.g -> /dev/null for example.
What I don't want is a window to an account opening on the Linux box.
Cheers
Duncan.
