Marc thanks for your reply, however which problem are you speaking of. The .Xauthority problem, or the inetv6 problem or the Alt-Ctrl-Fn crash ? The only one I am concerned with is the .Xauthority problem. --- Regards, Alf Stocktonwww.stockton.co.za Certified Linux+ Professional C Programmer Stay away from flying saucers today. ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

The only one I am concerned with is the .Xauthority problem. I understand that, but until the IPv6 front (which affects xauth) shows longer-term stability, I'm not prepared to deal with related problems in anything older than HEAD.
