(using freebsd) Did you install KDE from packages? I experienced the same problem with the KDE packages on the 4.4-R CDs, but found that everything works fine when I rebuilt from the latest KDE port (as of about a week ago). One thing that occurred to me is that the packages might have been built on a system using DES passwords, whereas I (and presumably you as well) am using the default MD5 passwords... Anyway, try rebuilding KDE from the ports and see what happens. Be prepared to wait a long time while it all builds, though :-( Scott -- =========================================================================== Scott Mitchell | PGP Key ID | "Eagles may soar, but weasels Cambridge, England | 0x54B171B9 | don't get sucked into jet engines" scott.mitchell@mail.com | 0xAA775B8B | -- Anon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
