The problem is that when you try to login from the console (:0), /usr/bin/login spawns a shell with the argument "-c exec /usr/bin/dxsession". At this point, stdin and stdout are not open (I believe); this is something new in 4.2. tcsh will then crash, even if stdin and stdout are not needed to do the job. This problem may have been fixed in newer versions of tcsh. -heine -- Heine Rasmussen --- or ___________________________________________________________________________ Center for Research in Economics and Business Administration The Norwegian School of Economics, N-5035 Bergen, NORWAY
