Nice try, but this is not login. DISPLAY is not set when I log in a console. login does not handle DISPLAY specifically (the only program in shadow which does is su). Did you check /etc and the configuration files in your home directory? Some various ideas: /etc/security/pam_env.conf /etc/environment /etc/profile /etc/bash* ~/.bash* ~/.profile Best Regards, -- Nekral -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
