Xterm -C does not work either. I did apply the UCONSOLE option in the configuration file. I tried changing the protection on /dev/console, and making xconsole suid and sgid, but no luck. Does anyone know how to fix this? -- Thanks, Goran ------------------------------+--------------------------------- Goran Hammarback | goran@astro.uu.se Astronomiska Observatoriet | Uppsala Universitet | S-751 20 SWEDEN | ------------------------------+---------------------------------
