Note that 'xmsession' is just a shell +script that sets up the environment for xmsm, and is not needed when +this has been done already. +- +xmsm is installed suid root, this is required for screen locking and +running sbin commands. Privileges are dropped at startup and are +reacquired only when necessary. +- +System shutdown, reboot and suspend commands can be altered at compile +time only. Edit constants in smconf.h, or override them in CFLAGS if +necessary. + +copy /etc/X11/toolboxrc to ~/.toolboxrc for per-user configuration |
