Also be aware that setting too high of a security level on FBSD4.2 will prevent X from starting. Since this is newbies-, and not questions-, I now need to get this back on topic... The Handbook and other high level docs that newbies are used to consulting does not have any information on security levels and the ramifications of setting them. Especially as it regards to X. I had reinstalled XFree86-4.01, then went back down to 3.3.6 before I realized the problem wasn't with X at all, only that I had unknowingly denied myself permission to use X. This situation should be rectified somehow. David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
