Howdy, Had this leetle problem for a while but have ignored it till now. When X starts the user ppp starts up and hangs the server start, until I get bored waiting and kill the process. (I'm running ppp as a daemon.) I have been starting the X session with startx and xinit. This has gotten a bit irritating because I'm starting to use xdm. When I log off of the session, the whole console is hung up tight. I can press keys and eventually it starts beeping (buffer full, I guess.) The computer and OS are still running, but I have to go to another machine on the lan, telnet in, and rescue the situation (reboot - could also seek out and kill the offending process.) Any clues as to where to look for the solution to this? This is getting into territory where I read the book(s) and type in the examples. Any help appreciated. Thanks, John
