I was trying to connect a client on a different server, on the same machine, but the security got in my way. I could restart the display-manager with the security turned off (which I have done already) but it is not worth the time and effort closing all my files, logging out and logging back in again. I will wait for the kernel to upgrade and do a full reboot. I was not complaining so much as musing :) -- Michael JasonSmith http://www.ldots.org/
