Try via sudo. (risk reduced to: X session left open, terminal left open, non-expired sudo ticket in that terminal) I'm still sure there will be many other ways to do it, although they may require privileges to do so. Having said all the above, I'd advocate using a display manager for the vast majority of people. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
