I ssh in and there is X11 forwarding when that happens. This means that you can start a remote X application that way. If this was someone who was unfamiliar with X11 forwarding or new to the OS then they wouldn't even think of unsetting DISPLAY. I'm not the only one that this has happened to. Someone emailed me and the list earlier that confirms this happening. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Dennis Tenn * There will always come a time dstenn@fanfic.org * When your love will be tested ICQ# 1457509 * Stand tall and rise to the occasion * For only then will you grow strong. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
