How do I start more than 2 Xterm windows? Modify your .xsession file to include extra lines that look like: xterm & If you want names etc for these xwindows then include options to the xterm command: xterm -name "My New Window" & xterm -rv & et cetera. Be sure to include the "&" to run the xterm in the background. If you're logged into X, to start a new xterm at any time, enter "xterm &" and you'll have a new window. > An unrelated question that just came up. How do I set permission for a > administrotor (non-superuser) to su to root? Go into the /etc/group file and add the username after the "wheel" group entry. Change: wheel:*:0:root to wheel:*:0:root,adminID Hope this helps. A good book is "Essential System Administration" from O'Reilly & Assoc. Kevin -- Kevin McQuiggin VE7ZD mcquiggi@sfu.ca
