Funny, this was one of the few things that made systemd sound useful to me. I'm not going to switch to a distro that uses systemd and pam just to get it, but if I were using Debian already I'd be happy enough with the change. Other than running OpenBSD with its privilege separated X, isn't the systemd way the only way to run (part of?) the X server as a nonprivileged user? -- Mike Small [email protected] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
