I fully agree with the security point. But :-) In my case I have (in Linux) one X server for me and one for my wife. Switching between users take about a second, a *huge* difference compared to logout-login. Now, it would be very, very nice if I could somehow configure this so that we both can surf the web and see the latest "videos" with sound (I have a script doing chmod etc in Linux - PITA). The security issue is obviously moot (for me). I do understand "my case" (the way mr. Qian suggested) cannot be made default, but I hope it could be configured somehow to work that way. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
