The X font server (not to be confused with Irix's xfs nor Berkeley's xFS, a network file system with distributed backing store) makes sense if you've got a bunch of (mostly dumb) X terminals talking to the same X server. I agree with Christophe: it's worse than useless in a single-machine set up. (It's far worse than a resource waste; it's a security liability.) -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
