mozilla 0.7
Hi Myth and all, I filed a bug report about the new mozilla 0.7 release. It looks like it's got PSM built in so it will comfort a lot of people. It would be highly appreciated if you could give it a whirl. Regards, __ Eray
Bug#81396: root shell fscked after upgrade to woody
Package: general Version: N/A; reported 2001-01-06 Severity: important After I upgraded from potato to woody on an i386 machine, I observed a strange sympton I login as root. It doesn't matter where, console, X or from network... When I check the environment, normal user environment is present. If I run apt-get upgrade for instance the program will complain that path doesn't have the *sbin directories which is the way it should be. The quickest way to fix it is to type # su and then I can run any root process without errors on this child shell. I observed the exact error on another installation while upgrading from slink to potato so I presume this is a bug which has not been addressed yet. I had then thought this was a feature not a bug but now I'm certainly sure it's a bug because the machines I installed from scratch *never* show this behaviour.

[authorization] fails silently for normal users, cannot start server
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.0.1-9 Severity: important When I try to start X server as a user, the X server complains that the authorization has failed and terminates. Likewise when trying to login from gdm (tried other display managers, too) I can't paste anything now but as far as I can summarize: from auth.log, a message like PAM_unix[...]: authentication failure; (uid=0) - exa for gdm service exa is a normal user here, and gdm is the standard gdm. exa's uid is 1000 That's when I try to login from gdm. When I try to login from console the error is more silent. PAM_unix[..]: (login) session opened for user exa by LOGIN(uid=0) what is going on here? :((( none of our users can login to X for the past 6 weeks!!! help please.
