If you do have xauth somewhere on your box, could you do a > 'dpkg -S /path/to/xauth' and tell me what package owns it? yes I do have xauth(and from a check, xauth is included in xbase-clients at least in debian stable) so I reccomend reinstalling xbase-clients, it may work after that good luck! nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
