Awhile ago I asked this list for any insight about why I couldn't bring up X on some ~test accounts that I set up weeks ago. No response so I rolled up my sleeves and here is what I discovered. Be careful about choosing options when you use the adduser script. Rather than simply choose the defaults, I chose <user> and the group ``wheel'' which caused permission problem with xdm or startx. When I modified the passwd and group files to <user>:<user> X was much happier. Hope this saves a few others some head-scratching... ! gary kline To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
