I use x11vnc (net/x11vnc), as it doesn't require loading anything into the X server itself--it's a standard X client. >From there, it wouldn't be difficult to hack together something that starts x11vnc when the X server starts up. XDM and GDM tend to store their X authority files in easy-to-find locations. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <CyberLeo@CyberLeo.Net> Furry Peace! - http://wwww.fur.com/peace/
