These scripts will be executed immediately after a successful user login has occurred. Of course, your method is just as effective, but perhaps a little non-standard. -- Jeff Ebert [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

So I added this line in my /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession: /usr/X11R6/bin/xsetroot -gray Following this method, you can also easily create animated login backgrounds, by calling any suitable program (i. e., all those nifty screen savers); in this case what you have to put in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession is a coomand that will kill the program displaying the animated background. Remember that many programs which look nice on the screen also burn lots of CPU cycles. If your users rely on CPU time being available also when they are not logged in (i. e., they run background, CPU-bound programs), although nice, they may not be a good idea. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
