This works for me, but needs to be repeated each time X restarts. Hall Stevenson: > I've got what's supposedly the > "proper" and safe way to solve this, but it's on my Debian box at home.

I've been trying to get this working for nearly a year and while I've received many suggestions, none have worked.

If there really is a security issue with setting things up the way every other Linux distro I've used does things, it would seem that the gdm maintainer is (or was) violating it as well. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
