Yes, there is only one krb5-auth-dialog entry in session preferences now (and it was not grouped with the ones I deleted, which appeared together in the list). I just checked my other F8 system and there were a bunch of extra krb5-auth-dialog processes listed in the session preferences. In the State field, they all (but one) had an "unplugged" icon. The remaining one (not grouped with the others had a "life preserver" icon. Apparently, not enough were running to slow the login process, though. I'll keep an eye on that now and see if the number grows and if I can figure out why. > -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
