Actually I think this is a pam.conf issue. You probably built 3.3.6 with PAM support? This happened to me as soon as 3.3.6 came out. try copying pam.conf from whereveryoubuildworld/etc to /etc and see if that fixes it. I think mergemaster would take care of this too, I dunno last time I used it it did more harm than good. -Will On Tue, 22 Feb 2000, Will Andrews wrote: > On Wed, Feb 23, 2000 at 02:10:00AM -0300, lioux@uol.com.br wrote: > > Dear guys, > > > > I am running monday's current, Mesa-glx for Riva, XFree 3.3.6 and > > KDE 1.1.2.
