I compiled up a X11R5 raw version of xlock from the X contrib directory at one of the X mirror sites here. The problem is that it compiled up pretty well fine, but it won't recognize my password. Now could this be anything to do with crypt() I added to the standard C library ? Or can't it handle the shadow password entries (surely that would be built in to the system calls.) Does anyone have a working version ? Thanks Tim. -- ________________________________________________________________________________ Tim Liddelow for(;;) fork(); Systems Programmer Centre of Advanced Technology in Telecommunications My brain on a bad day.
