I discovered I like to "exec startx" instead. That way quitting X also logs me out. Also, when my screen saver locks someone cannot just switch back to virtual console 1, control-Z and get into my account. My notebook is usually just in sleep when I am carrying it around, so this would at least slow down a thief. Because typing "exec startx" is a pain, in my /etc/bashrc I have an alias: alias x="exec startx" Actually, I have it behind a "case $TERM in", "linux)" so that I don't accidentally try to fire up X from a ssh session or after I have started X. -kb -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
