I remember this setting in 8.2 in KDE, too, however as I currently don't want to install X I'd be glad if someone could tell me what to do from command line. I'll try Derek's suggestions (thanks) and make a search on my own. > Have you ever had high security?, or did you upgrade instead of install?
