All works fine, but some users began to try to lock the consoles while they're not there. The 'war' grew an grew and now there is a program, which connects to the server, gets the ID of the root-window and destroys this window. The user formerly owning this console is now logged of. Did I make any mistakes installing the system or is it the philosophy of X to be such open to all users? Are there any suggestions to prevent users from destroying the login-window? Is this whole thing still possible under Version 11. I installed this too, but the program still isn't converted. \Maexchen
