We are using X11R4 patchlevel 12 on a system of Sun 3's and 4.0.3. We have the problem that sometimes while one person is logged in on the console, another user will accidently start a program that attempts to write to the frame buffer. I have considered writing two set-uid programs, one to do a chown on the frame buffers to the user, and one to restore it back to root. However, I was wondering if anyone knew of a more graceful solution. Since some users still prefer Sunview, using xdm is not an option. Perhaps per user authorizations can be added to R5? -- -Greg Hennessy, University of Virginia USPS Mail: Astronomy Department, Charlottesville, VA 22903-2475 USA Internet: gsh7w@virginia.edu UUCP: ...!uunet!virginia!gsh7w
