Canna is an input server for Japanese, which has more letters than there are keys on a US keyboard. If you aren't supporting Japanese speakers, you can uninstall it. I don't think Canna was your problem. The local X server uses the font server, which puts a socket file in /tmp/.font-unix/. If you comment out the line "0=/usr/bin/X11/X" in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, your server will stop running X locally (what you probably want if you don't have a monitor on the server). -David ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: DEDICATED SERVERS only $89!
