Dear FreeBSDers,

after a couple of days spent RTFMing like crazy, I am back at my
console at last ! (yawn ...)

I have read some of the recent messages about X not working on
-CURRENT as well as other issues. Although my -CURRENT sources are the
same (last cvsup on 06-Mar-2000 11pm GMT), I seem to have solved most
of my difficulties.

Remark I
Since I am a bit paranoid, I remade the world once more (exactly by
the book, except for m.m. of course), and, wait for it, I met NO
errors in making installworld.

NO errors. Even sysinstall, after making (it) clean, was made
smoothly. I am running a full-blown -CURRENT :-)) [wild screams of joy
censored]

In the past few weeks, under a -STABLE installation of mine (which was
to become my present -CURRENT), I had compiled XFree86-3.3.6 with PAM
support, among other things. As I wrote a couple of days ago, I met
authentication errors with my freshly-(re)made -CURRENT. However, my
pam.conf and ttys files were perfectly correct. Thus I recompiled X
(with PAM support yet again!) and this time ... it worked seamlessly.
Am I the sole person running X (compiled with PAM support) without
problems under -CURRENT ? :-)

HTH,
Salvo
