I just upgraded my laptop to 1.1 and now X is broken. I keep getting
the messages:

In your /etc/passwd file, change the line for user "nobody" to have
/bin/sh as a shell instead of /dev/null, and the cron problem will go
away. This was a beta-test mistake caused by excessive security paranoia
on my part.

Hi,
Yes, I agree that the daily messages from cron are most
irritating, and not very infprmative. The actual source of the

the shell /dev/null (this is a known problem that has been fixed in a
later version, I think, tho

When you invoke octave, it says "failed to load symbols from
/usr/bin/octave.bin". Then when you invoke a function like fft, it
says "failed to link library /usr/lib/liboctdld.a".
I tried to install the dld package, but it didn't help. This is on an

I have both SVGA video and monochrome video cards in my system and
the appropriate monitors. I'd like to use the monochrome monitor as
