I just found out that you can set :passwd_format=des: in /etc/login.conf to force passwords to be DES encrypted. (needed for interoperability here) Result: when wdm tries to start xconsole, xconsole dumps core right after reading the contents of spwd.db, whenever root's password is DES encrypted.

This is 4.1.1-STABLE as of yesterday and the XF86 3.3.6 that came with 4.1.1-RELEASE. Patrick -- --- WEB ISS GmbH - Scheffelstr. 17a - 76135 Karlsruhe - 0721/9109-0 --- ------ Patrick M.
