[Newbie]XDM and Permissions...

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Me again.  Okay.  It looks like XDM is in fact logging in properly and it is
a permissions problem that is at issue here.  The pattern is that I log in
via Xwindows/XDM, there is a pause and then the screen resets right back to
a login prompt.

If I "cat .xsession-errors" in my home dir, I see:
=======================
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession: xmodmap: command not found
stderr is not a tty - where are you?

"When in doubt, tell the truth."
                -- Mark Twain

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession: /9gbdisk/usr/home/misha/.xsession:
Permission denied
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession: exec: /9gbdisk/usr/home/misha/.xsession:
cannot execute: Permission denied
=======================

Can anyone point me to the chapter and verse on the permissions these files
are supposed to be set to, or let me know how else to fix this?  Thanks!
