Since xterms are SUID root normal users also cannot run : them unless SUID bit is removed. Then they are Ok. My H/W config. is 486 : DX 33 with 8 Meg and Cirrus Logic 5422 with 1 Meg. Initiall there was no : problem but this happened after sometime. I also notice that sometimes : cron and xterms die with signal 11 (Segmentation Violation). I think the problem was with the + sign in /etc/hosts. Has anybody encountered similar problems with NIS. -- +-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------+ | Mano Pallewatta | Internet: pall@cs.ait.ac.th | | Computer Science Program | | | Asian Institute of Technology | Phone: +66 2 524 5720 | | GPO Box 2754, Bangkok 10501 | Fax : +66 2 524 5721 | | Thailand. | | | | | +-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------+
