According to /var/run/gdm.pid gdm was already running (1153) but seems to have been murdered mysteriously. Really funny....too bad the programmer couldn't stop this thing from constantly looping every 3 seconds. Hmmm...pinstripe was more stable than this. I did a workstation install just to see. I guess only custom will work. I hit SHIFT-F2 and logged in quickly but the screen keeps flashing. I wish I could kill the process but can't type that fast in under 2 to 3 seconds. I've rebooted 3 times. Ok then well guess it's 7.ooohh. Anyone else encounter this? btw with that xinetd...I'm sure many will encounter this but after you make a configuration change instead of the usually killall -HUP xinetd OR kill -HUP <xinetd-pid> (this won't work) you have to use (this is from memory when using pinstripe) kill -10 <xinetd-pid> man xinetd and kill --help _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
