Hi all,
I just rebooted my -current box for the first time in a long
time. Everything on this box is freshly compiled (including
X) as of only a couple of hours ago. I even mergemaster'd
for good measure.
For some reason now I can't startx(1) as either myself or root.
I type startx and the PAM auth routines loop forever printing
out 'Password:'. I comment out the last two lines in /etc/pam.conf
and I get an authentication failure (as I should).
Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? What is the correct
method to start X on -current nowadays?
Thanks.
-steve
PS: I'd search the mailing lists but I can't get to my browser
and I'm not so good with lynx. :)
