debuild gnome-packages

Hi all, I'm trying to build a Debian package using some extra CFLAGS (I download the sources of the debian package and then build a package with debuild). I've realised the gnome packages which have generic makefiles don't respect my CFLAGS variable even if I call *debuild with the --preserve-envva

Re: recent etch upgrade... sashroot (uid=0) started to impersonate uid=0 (root)

Just checked -- you are right. I thought since sshd is running already and it is dyn linked against libpam, I hoped that all required pam modules are loaded by then... I was wrong... so indeed there is not much use for login. I guess it is better to have some terminal session with sash running to h
