I was trying to set up color xterm defaults in my toor account. All my X accounts run WindowMaker. In the password file, my home account is toor, but in the profile scripts, it is root. When i changed them to 'toor' and copied my .xinitrc file, when i started X, TWM came up. I've never seen it before, and since the .xinitrc file says to load WindowMaker, i can't figure ot what happened. But as soon as i changed the HOME environment variables to 'root', it worked fine, and loaded WM just like before. -=> jm <=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
