Boot up and start X. As soon as the pppd has established a connection any attempt to start anything at all results in : Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 Anything currently running remains running although they sometimes fail later. Having started Netscape I can confirm that the dial up connection works just fine ! Drop out of X. There are messages on tty1 to the effect that KFM has been stopped and cannot restart. There is also a message indicating failure to find pppd0. There will also be AUDIT messages for each application launch attempt repeating the refusal to connect to X server Start X again Everything works fine now and continues to work fine after establishing another dial up connection. However root@localhost has now become root@mfs-pci-bqm-vty53 !!! I am using XFree86 3.3.6-8 (have tried 3.3.6-7mdk), Gtk+ 1.2.6-8mdk, ppp 2.3.11-1 (have tried 2.3.10-5mdk), msec 0.9-13mdk, pam 0.72-1 (have tried latest mdk). What is going on !?!?! I really want to have this system functioning properly so I can demonstrate it on Feb 17th to sceptical work colleagues. HELP ! Thanks, Owen
