I just noticed this this morning when logging into my machine from work. I can't say that I've ever dealt with this before, or even seen it. I have two Mandrake 7.2 machines at home, and this only happens on ONE of those machines. Here's the message I get every time I log into my machine. /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "r2r2.unixtechs.org:11.0" in "add" command I looked in /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth and I didn't see anything about the host name of r2d2.unixtechs.org in there at all. If I log into my other machine I have no problems. They were installed the exact same way, but of course they don't have the exact same hardware. I rebuilt both of those machines last week. And R2D2 just started behaving like that today. Any suggestions here? Thanx! tdh -- T. Holmes Unixtechs.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.unixtechs.org/ "Real Men use Vi."
