>Description:
        When running eterm-0.9.1_1 from a home directory located
        on an NFS partition that "squashes" root access, Eterm fails
        to start.  Ktracing around revealed that $HOME/.Xauthority
        could not be opened (permission denied).  Removing setuid
        bit on Eterm binary allowed $HOME/.Xauthority to be read, and
        Eterm to start (but not update wtmp); Hrmm...

>How-To-Repeat:
        Install Eterm, run from an NFS-mounted home directory that
        doesn't allow root access.
       
>Fix:
        Build Eterm without patch
        /usr/ports/x11/eterm/files/patch-src:startup.c.  This patch 
        appears to be erroneous.
