Hi I managed to screw the xauthority on my machine in some way. I noticed that exmh's background process stopped working. My .xsession-errors show the following : BgRegister X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command ignored BgRegister X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command ignored exmh-bg cannot rendez-vous with UI - exiting. Usually this is because Tk send is not working. Check the notes under Frequently Asked Questions #4a and #4b. You can find this under the Help menu. I did RTFM, and checked all the xdm config files as well as my ~/Xauthority and everything checks out. I ran xdm -debug 1 and that looks OK too, except that right after it prints out the environment, it says : Unsecure display 0: Earlier on it said Secure though. My ~/Xauthority is empty when X isn't running and contains 2 entries when I start xdm. No other programs except tk stuff complain about anything such as opening the display. Does anyone have any idea what I did or how to fix it? pierre -- Pierre-Andre van Leeuwen Electronic Engineer Powered By FreeBSD ******************************** * Nanoteq (Pty) Ltd. * * Specialists in data security * * E-mail : pvl@nanoteq.com * * Ph : +27 (0)12 665-1338 * * http://www.nanoteq.co.za * ********************************
