(Sorry, man XWin and XWin --help couldnt help me) From the linux 'man Xserver' page: -ac disables host-based access control mechanisms. Enables access by any host, and permits any host to modify the access control list. Use with extreme caution. This option exists primarily for running test suites remotely. --- Rasjid.

This is equivalent to xhost + and will allow _anybody_ to connect to the XServer. One could easily grab all keypresses and window contents. Or present fake password dialogs. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
