Hosts is before dns in /etc/host.conf. xsession-errors does not have anything unusual in it. (I'm missing "rock" when I use xlockmore.) I don't have an /etc/X0.hosts. Should I? For that matter, why does X do a dns resolution when it starts? All it starts is a xterm and afterstep. How can I see a tcpdump when I startx? I type startx, get a screen of text from XF86Config, and then it freezes. Can't switch consoles, etc. Pat
