I cannot really offer any advice from the viewpoint of a 9.2/XFree user but since xorg is a fork from XFree the two might be able to coexist. Any xorg libraries should have distinctive names and may reside in their own subdirectory. Might be worth poking around in your system. Does xorg use XF86Config?

[newbie] Re: The effect of 'chgrp' is not permanent?
Thanks to all who replied. I'm resuming what I wanted to achieve: 'rodolfo' is a normal user, but Rodolfo (me) is also the superuser, whereas say, 'alberto' is only a normal user. Then I wish to adopt for alberto a security level 4, i.e. alberto should not be able to see the '/' directory nor its subdirs (although he should be able to see and use the /mnt dir), and for rodolfo a security level 2, i.e. he should be able to see (but *not* to modify) the '/' dir and its subdirs. Now, the command 'chmod' as far as I know cannot diversify different permissions to different users: if I do, e.g., 'chmod -r /', this will prevent *all* users (not only alberto) to read the '/' directory. Even if I do 'chmod u-r /' or 'chmod g-r /' or 'chmod o-r /' the problem remains. That's what I tried to do to work the problem out: Security level: 2 (standard). I made the user rodolfo a member of the 'root' group in addition to 'rodolfo' group, just with: # usermod -g rodolfo -G root rodolfo ; then I adjusted the permissions of the '/' dir and its subdirs trying to keep level 2 philosophy: so that the user rodolfo (now a member of the root group) could read but not write those directories except for the /mnt dir, and that the other users could not even read those directories (except for /mnt, again). I obtained the following output of 'ls -l /' [EMAIL PROTECTED] rodolfo]$ ls -l / total 52 drwxr-x--x 2 root root 4096 Dec 17 16:05 bin/ drwxr-x--x 3 root root 4096 Dec 20 11:41 boot/ drwxr-x--x 17 root root 3800 Dec 20 11:41 dev/ drwxr-x--x 71 root root 4096 Dec 20 11:40 etc/ drwxr-x--x 4 root root 4096 Dec 18 18:53 home/ drwxr-x--x 2 root root 4096 Dec 17 16:31 initrd/ drwxr-x--x 11 root root 4096 Dec 17 16:13 lib/ drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 18 11:48 mnt/ drwxr-x--x 2 root root 4096 Jan 5 2004 opt/ dr-xr-x--x 77 root root0 Dec 20 11:40 proc/ drwx-- 11 root root 4096 Dec 19 20:16 root/ drwxr-x--x 2 root root 4096 Dec 17 15:59 sbin/ drwxr-x--x 9 root root0 Dec 20 11:40 sys/ drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 4096 Dec 20 11:41 tmp/ drwxr-x--x 12 root root 4096 Dec 17 16:07 usr/ drwxr-x--x 17 root root 4096 Dec 17 15:59 var/ . It seems to me (but I might be wrong) that such a solution would be quite secure: as we see from the above output, the user rodolfo as a member of the root group has no more privileges than he normally has with a sec level 2, in the sense that he cannot see the /root directory and he can only read the other '/' subdirs; the other users cannot even see the '/' subdirs, just as I wanted (/tmp though must be accessible to start kde). There's only one problem: these changes are not permanent: in fact, after rebooting the system I get a different output to 'ls-l /': [EMAIL PROTECTED] rodolfo]$ ls -l / total 52 drwxr-x--x 2 root root 4096 Dec 17 16:05 bin/ drwxr-x--x 3 root root 4096 Dec 20 11:57 boot/ drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 3800 Dec 20 11:57 dev/ drwxr-x--x 71 root root 4096 Dec 20 11:57 etc/ drwxr-x--x 4 root root 4096 Dec 18 18:53 home/ drwxr-x--x 2 root root 4096 Dec 17 16:31 initrd/ drwxr-x--x 11 root root 4096 Dec 17 16:13 lib/ drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Dec 18 11:48 mnt/ drwxr-x--x 2 root root 4096 Jan 5 2004 opt/ dr-xr-xr-x 78 root root0 Dec 20 11:56 proc/ drwx-- 11 root root 4096 Dec 19 20:16 root/ drwxr-x--x 2 root root 4096 Dec 17 15:59 sbin/ drwxr-xr-x 9 root root0 Dec 20 11:56 sys/ drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 4096 Dec 20 11:58 tmp/ drwxr-x--x 12 root root 4096 Dec 17 16:07 usr/ drwxr-x--x 17 root root 4096 Dec 17 15:59 var/ .
