I think many people are in the same situation. they unsubscribed 
several weeks ago, and they receive mails agin since the begining
of the week. 

perhaps a good answer to this question is not only to unsubscribe
concerned people, but to explain evrybody how to unsubscribe
definitively...

a simple question about xdm : 

  my root password is ... say "toto". when i try to login
  with password "totoxxx", it works. The xdm login
  only compares characters from the begining, to the end of
  the password. is it normal ??? 

thanks,
