It has happened several times that while I am using X (KDE), the screen suddenly goes blank and then the RedHat login screen comes up. I can log back in and continue working, but I lose my session (ppp connection, whatever is displayed on my terminals and web browser, etc.). Consulting /var/log/messages I find that the following corresponding to X bombing: Sep 28 19:04:36 heidegger gdm[1363]: gdm_auth_user_remove: /home/ken is not owned by uid 0. Sep 28 19:04:36 heidegger gdm[1363]:gdm_auth_user_remove: Ignoring suspiciously looking cookie file /home/ken/.Xauthority Anybody know what is going on here and/or how to fix it? tia, kf -- My recommendation: Don't shop at Explorer Micro, Columbus, Ohio. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
