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?
It might be that they are requesting service that only root can access. You might check some md5sums of individual files to see that they are ok, and not replaced by trojans or something. -Pete
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?
