Hi, when locking some of my FC3 machines on console 0 by vlock -a and lateron unlocking them, a running X session will still run, but new windows (xterm for example) are no more displayed. Shooting down Xwindows and starting it again solves the problem. -- Regards Joachim Backes Joachim Backes <backes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> University of Kaiserslautern,Computer Center [RHRK], Systems and Operations, High Performance Computing, D-67653 Kaiserslautern, PO Box 3049, Germany -------------------------------------------------- Phone: +49-631-205-2438, FAX: +49-631-205-3056 http://hlrwm.rhrk.uni-kl.de/home/staff/backes.html
