But when i wanted to use it today, it died with: root@antsrv1 [~] # usrmgr/usrmgr.pl [the usual messages about unused variables] X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Atom id in failed request: 0x1a6 Serial number of failed request: 12 Current serial number in output stream: 15 I have no clue what this could be. Other X11 apps run fine. I am logged in via ssh -X. Versions: FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8 p5-Tk-804.027 perl-5.6.1_15 Practical Extraction and Report Language perl-5.8.4 Practical Extraction and Report Language 2 versions of perl? Is this ok? Does anyone have an idea?
