The following reply was made to PR misc/23168; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Rich Wales <richw@webcom.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: misc/23168: xconsole dumps core (XFree86 3.3.6) Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2000 10:58:37 -0800 (PST) I've found a workaround to this problem. Put the following lines in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0, before the call to "xconsole": export USER=root export HOME=/root The problem seems to have something to do with XFree86's _XGetpwuid() macro (defined in include/Xos_r.h). Defining the home directory (in this case, root's home) in the environment should cause the broken _XGetpwuid() call to be sidestepped. I'll bring this problem up with the XFree people.
