Conrad Cunningham) Subject: Help on XTerm and other problems w/XFree86 1.2 Message-ID: <1993Feb26.001508.11605@wuecl.wustl.edu> Sender: usenet@wuecl.wustl.edu (News Administrator) Nntp-Posting-Host: wucs1 Organization: Washington University, St. Louis MO Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1993 00:15:08 GMT Lines: 37 I have just finished installing XFree 1.2 and xview3. I have the lastest patchkit installed and the kernel rebuilt. I have the *real* crypt installed and a working copy of xdm running. And as long as you are the only one on the system and you are at the console everything seems to work just fine. BUT as soon as another user telnets in I ;am unable to start new XTerms. Also finger, w, and who do not show the user on the console. I have noticed that the owner of the device that I use when logging in at the console remains "root" (ex /dev/ttyp2). When users log in from remote sites, they become the owner of that device. Is this a problem? What is the difference between the pccons driver and the other one. Which one should I be using? Any help on any of these problems? Please, if you email, send to ken@cs.olemiss.edu Thanks A -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- H.
