I've had problems w/ X as well. For example...when my screen saver goes on,
the X server crashes, and I'm not able to get to a console, or log in
remotely; although, my firewall setup still works, and forwards packets to
the rest of my network.
As for CRON jobs...okay. I'll check that. :-) But for programs running setuid
root...how do I tell if they are? Where would I look?
