This shouldn't break the X transition (for example, it kept right on working in Ubuntu); we use the /usr/bin/X11 symlink, which is supposed to be /usr/X11R6/bin before the transition and /usr/bin afterwards. If it's broken for a period, well, that's life. > Is it possible not to compile in binary path? Not easily; sshd does a stat() on the path to determine whether xauth is available. Some code would have to be written to avoid that. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
