That did the trick for me. More detail please! How does one track down the login classes used by such processes? I've found a near sure fire way to totally lock up my FreeBSD 2.2.6-stable system is to have Netscape Navigator 3.01 (the 128-bit version) up, XFree86 3.3.1, Mach32 server, and to run "cd /usr/ports && cvs -q update -d" in an xterm. The above almost always freezes my 64MB PPro-200, and always about the time cvs is about to finish. No Navigator, no problem. Thought it might be a bad block in my swap partition so I moved swap to another disk, no change. Split swap across both disks, no change. Am not running a cvs or ctm server. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
