Isn't it possible to set up fstab to that only users of a certain group can

it, but I would like to be able to do it without being root.

hi,
the 2nd problem is not related to xdm but how the xserver works... by default
the owner of the xserver (user who started the xserver) is the only one who can

just use the command: xhost +localhost
and every user logged on your pc will
be allowed to start x apps.

* ping
* pop3

Hi,
While I installed Linux some time ago with a lot of 'trial and error', I
