On my system, the above chain of commands will invariably produce a
segfault because my machine refuses to allocate memory properly to RTFM.
Other sensitivity issues will also be catted to /dev/null :^)

> Gee, what's wrong with a suggestion to "Read The Fine Manuals"??? Oh, it's read the _fine_ manual, is it? Everything I know is wrong! One would hope that we could answer questions on this list in a polite and respectful manner, especially since there's absolutely no way that we could ever expect people to know all of this stuff. While Billy is helpful I suspect he's one of the parties who could most use the "polite and respectful" practice. Or Billy could just hang out more on the developers lists, where we light into each other like siamese fighting fish. I've been getting an excellent course in developing a thick skin over there.

Time to RTFM, there, Corey. I suggest a good X book, i.e. X User's Guide by O'Reilly (volume 3 in the X series.) The reason why this isn't working is because your users don't have a .xinitrc that contains a windows manager. Suggest you build a skeleton directory with a proper .xinitrc file, or edit the systemwide xinitrc to include a standard WM. As for the xterm bit, you're probably getting weird behaviour because the xterm probably doesn't have an & attached to it in whatever startup file you have Probably also your systemwide xinitrc doesn't have th proper read permissions if your root directory contains no .xinitrc file. Finally, you shouldn't be running X as root. This is probably in a FAQ. Will -- This message was delayed because the list mail delivery agent was down.
Re: pine produces segmentation faults (fwd)
also Xfree86 doesn't run properly .. . it will as root but as any other user X starts as if no window manager is set . . and typing startx -exec fvwm2 will bring up the correct gui but there is no command prompt in the xterm . . . freaky eh??

pine produces segmentation faults (fwd)
sorry about this . . . but I feel it is relatively important I can send mail in pine as root . . so it must be a permission problem right but where Corey A.
