Ohh, I�m sorry. The users I write about are logged in a machine running xdm for some X-terminals. These users could write their own programms to listen on the right ports on the machine, so they can sniff whole x-sessions. So if I can reserve all ports of the ethernet device connected to the X-terminals ro root no user would be able to to this, right?
Perhaps, although I still don't know how to go about making these ports privileged. Why don't you use the X built-in security/access-control measures like MIT magick cookies? This would solve your problem, I think. Cheers! Yuri. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- drs.
