Re: x will not let me log in as anything but root

[Bob Edwards <redwards@arkansas.net>]

Hello.

I changed the second line of /etc/X11/Xserver
to allow "anybody" to ryn the Xserver with the
same result. Which other X files are related
to passwords? Could some other file
need to be edited ?

Thanks for your time,

Bob Edwards
