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. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
