-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi gang, I was piddlin' around with nothing much to do, so I opened up konqueror and started to just look and read things in different directories and such, and came upon .xsession-errors in my home directory. Most of the stuff makes absolutely no sense to me, but there's a few 'plain english' things in it but don't understand what it means. For instance, I found these lines a few times: konsole_grantpty not installed root-suid konsole: chownpty failed for device /dev/ptyp0::/dev/ttyp0. : This means the session can be eavesdroped. : Make sure konsole_grantpty is installed in : /opt/kde3/bin/ and setuid root. I did a 'man setuid', and from *my* understanding of it, using setuid on things is 'Not Good'®. So what is this device, why did the chown fail, and should I (and how would/do I) make it setuid root? Thanks for any help maqking this 'clearer' to me, and for satiating my idle curiosity, heh. John - -- - -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 G! d- s+:++ a?
