hi, thanks for the hint, peter, i checked all my /dev/pts and /dev/pty* settings and everything is ok. so: why can i do "ls", "mkdir", "xterm", ... as root, but not as a normal user? more strange things: "ps", "w", "less" and even "top" work ok, "cat" (!) crashes. "finger" runs perfectly, "who" crashes. alex: for you it's only xterm showing this behaviour? no other commands? regards, michael balzer -- b&b computersysteme * kämperheide 10 * 58285 gevelsberg * germany fon +49 2333 913924 * fax +49 2333 913925 * http://www.bbcomp.de
