I run three workstations and a web server here,
all using XFree86 and the same distro. Until yesterday, all of the machine
displayed the same messages when starting X or exiting my window manager. Last
night, after running startx on one of the machines, when the window manager
displayed with the mouse arrow, I couldn't get it to move, it was frozen. Unable
to exit in any other way I reset the machine. Rebooting and running startx
again, everything functioned normally and has since with one exception: The
output after starting X displays as follows:
hostname: Unknown host
On the other three machines and on this one in the
past the output after running startx displays:
hostname: Unknown host
Using authoity file /root/.Xauthority
Writing authority file
/root/.Xauthority
Since everything otherwise seems to function
properly what might account for this difference. Have I corrupted or lost
something? I like to restore things on the effected machine to their original
default condition. How might I do this?
